About

After three years in the Corporate Advisory team at Russell McVeagh’s Wellington New Zealand office, I wrapped up my time with the firm to travel and relocate to London to take the next step in my career. I am now working as Corporate Counsel at FNZ, a global fintech firm transforming the wealth management industry. In this role, I support a wide range of corporate matters, continuing to grow my transactional experience in a fast-paced, cross-border environment.
