I love to understand businesses; to help them improve and grow. This desire has been at the heart of my career regardless of whether I have been the investor, regulator, or advisor. It’s the reason why I embarked on the CFA programme, and why I went to London Business School to study the Executive MBA. Regardless of my role, I will always continue to pursue this endeavour. More and more though, there is value in each of these communities to join together and learn from each other. Therefore, you are likely to see me within each of these communities discussing and advising on the challenges faced within each. Creating powerful networks in this way can help us strive to achieve better things together, not just for the business circles that we operate within but for the customers and societies those businesses serve.
