I am a seasoned corporate finance professional with 15 years of experience spanning banking, structured lending, private equity, and mergers & acquisitions. An ardent advocate of critical thinking and individual autonomy, I have a deep interest in geopolitics, history, and the intricacies of human behavior and decision-making, which I explore through extensive reading. Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a passionate sports enthusiast across multiple disciplines, including golf, rugby, cricket, football, and combat sports. I also enjoy the art of smoking various meats—such as brisket and pork belly—and taking leisurely walks with my dog along the Spruit.
