About

I love building fintech that improves the lives of millions. I believe the democratisation and decentralisation of financial services—making them accessible to the everyday person and the average company - are transforming the world and making the lives of billions better. Bringing change and innovation into financial services is always difficult, demanding and many times frustrating. But strong conviction and resilience make it possible! Previously, I helped scale financial infrastructure and go‑to‑market at the London Stock Exchange, IG (FTSE250), FXCM ($1.3b NYSE IPO), and as a serial entrepreneur. I also invested in teams advancing financial and AI infrastructure (e.g., Revolut, Carta, Circle, Anthropic, Cohere). If you’re an investor, operator, financial institution, market maker, or blockchain enthusiastic - I’d love to connect.
