Focus on the Triple Bottom Line: People, Profit & Planet

I believe in doing well by doing good. I think that serving the interest of stakeholders – employees, communities and the broader public - is not only good business but imperative when making long term investment decisions.

Prior to Knightsgate Ventures, I worked in Investment Management as a portfolio manager for large institutions and endowments. Managing significant assets across multiple relationships, I studied and deployed capital across a number of different industries, structures and stages within the business lifecycle.
