About

Genuine, with an ability to build, develop and retain key client relationships through trust and empathy. Experienced in banking and notably fixed income products, I have a background in credit sales as a team player and regular high producer. I've been fortunate in that my client and product portfolio has continually changed and developed over the past 10+ years. Recent client successes have been within the high yield & leveraged loan market and within the financials sector, where I focussed on bank capital and innovative products. I'm open-minded and ready for a new challenge.
