I spent over a decade as Partner and co-CEO of a public equity investment firm (peak assets under management of USD5.5bn) where I led Investment Committees, sat on Boards, raised capital, navigated founder succession, and managed teams through uncertainty.

Given the firm’s emerging market focus half of this time was based in Asia and I made over a hundred investment trips across Asia, Africa and Latin America where I engaged with CEOs of portfolio holdings and hosted CIOs of the world’s most long-term minded capital allocators from the endowment and foundation world, as well as principals and teams of global family offices.

I learned that sound judgment requires holding two things at once: the information in your hand, and honest reflection about what you’re bringing to it.

We apply rigorous analysis to markets but rarely do we apply the same rigour to ourselves. I work with leaders and teams looking to close this gap, and I write about the behavioural patterns that shape institutional decision-making, the psychology behind how capital gets allocated, and why self-knowledge isn't separate from analytical rigour - it's what makes the rigour work.
