I joined Investec Wealth & Investment in June 2022 (now Rathbones) and I specialise in helping private clients build comprehensive, tailored financial plans designed to achieve their medium to long-term goals in key areas such as investment strategy, retirement planning and income, tax efficiency, personal insurance, and inheritance planning.

I began my career in the Oil & Gas industry, managing Supply and Distribution, before transitioning to Financial Services over 16 years ago.

Since then, I’ve held advisory roles at Lloyds Banking Group—including Bank of Scotland, Lloyds TSB, and Scottish Widows—followed by positions at Aviva Financial Services and Acumen Financial Planning.

I hold a master’s degree, MBA in Management, from the University of Aberdeen. I am a Chartered Financial Planner and Fellow of the Personal Finance Society, as well as a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI).
