Director of Aelia Capital, I am a producing broker and financial engineer operating across the (re)insurance and investment banking sectors providing broking, structuring, and analytics services around the world. Specialising in deal origination, capital raising, capacity sourcing and structured transactions, I work with (re)insurers, captives, MGAs and investment managers to broker deals and provide strategic and operations consulting services. For my Executive MBA, I attended one of a handful of business schools with the prestigious gold standard triple-crown accreditation, majoring in Strategy, Financial Management and Mergers & Acquisitions. Concurrently, I undertook the coveted CQF financial engineering program, working alongside an elite collection of world-renowned practitioners and highly regarded academics to qualify as a professional quant. Trading across the value chain, I look to innovate, challenge the status quo and generally push boundaries to design, develop and transact new solutions. Renowned for combining a holistic outlook with detailed insight; I partner with clients to design new products, looking at a mix of asset and liability solutions – from structured reinsurance, to run-off (legacy markets) or bespoke derivatives and capital markets solutions.
