Rogers, Arkansas, United States
Series 3
Focused on asset valuations and co-investment. If you know me, you know the geographies of my interest and you can reach out with any actionable opportunities there.
Vectra brought me in, planning to bring in outside money to manage. Then, shortly thereafter, they reversed course and decided to stay proprietary. All is good between us- I'm proud to know them.
I followed the CEO who had hired me previously to help him build up a large commodities business in very short order. By the time this was in place, my family was homesick for the U.S. and we returned. Schools in the U.K. are gender-segregated and we did not desire this for our children.
I was hired by a CEO, who I admire, who was fired relatively shortly thereafter due to a disagreement with our Chairman. The replacement CEO (Yusuf Alireza) was new to commodities and wanted to bring in his own team. I graciously resigned in order to accommodate this. Yusuf will speak to all of this.
