About

I've spent 15+ years at GIC investing across asset classes through a global macro and multi-asset lens, spanning equities, rates, FX, commodities, and volatility, and combining discretionary judgment with systematic discipline. Today, I manage a global multi-asset absolute return strategy, with a focus on thematic investing that captures cross-asset lead-lags. Concurrently, I lead the portfolio management function in our Fixed Income & Multi-Asset CIO Office — work that centers on capital and risk allocation, basis management, portfolio construction, and cross-asset overlays. My interest is in turning complexity into coherent portfolio decisions: identifying cross-asset inflections, structuring asymmetry, allocating risk deliberately, and building the teams and processes to do it repeatedly. I graduated from the Jerome Fisher Program in Management & Technology (M&T) at the University of Pennsylvania, with a foundation in both finance and computer science. I also completed the MSx Program as a Sloan Fellow at Stanford Graduate School of Business, with a focus on leadership and management. I hold both CFA and CAIA charters.
