What do you do?

I work with business owners who are looking to sell their company or grow through private equity investment. My job is to really understand their business, pull together the numbers and story behind it, and help them get the best possible result from the deal. No two businesses are the same, and that’s what I enjoy most – getting to know what makes each one tick and supporting clients through what’s often a really big moment for them.

WHY DO YOU DO IT?

Before moving into corporate finance, I worked in Management Consulting. I’ve worked with business owners to shape their 3–5 year growth plans before a sale, and it made me realise how personal their business is – for many, it’s one of the most important things in their life after their family. Selling is a huge moment, and I want to help guide them through it and make sure they get the best outcome

I’ve also always loved research and digging into the detail. I’ve worked on commercial due diligence projects, particularly in the energy sector, and I love deep-diving into industries to understand market trends and what drives performance.

WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED IN?

I’ve worked on a mix of projects, from professional services firms to healthcare businesses. Every project is different, and that’s what I enjoy most – getting to know how each business works and what makes it special.

WHAT’S ON TOP OF YOUR BUCKET LIST?

I’d love to go on safari one day. I’ve always loved animals, and after ticking off one bucket list goal by getting a golden retriever, the next goal is to see a lion in its natural habitat. The thought of spotting one up close honestly gives me goosebumps. It would be such an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
