About me
Intro
I help investors and companies structure and finance complex infrastructure projects. With 12+ years in M&A and project finance, I specialise in advanced financial modelling, business planning, and capital raising (debt & equity) for infrastructure and energy projets. I bridge technical complexity with investor expectations, delivering clear strategies, robust models, and investor-ready documentation. I am a CFA charterholder.
