What was your first job, and how has it influenced you today?
I worked as a sales assistant in a shoe shop in a busy London airport terminal. I have to admit, I quite enjoyed the hustle of making sales and earning commission!
What attracted you to Financo?
I was particularly attracted to Financo’s unique focus on the consumer sector. The seamless interaction of our teams across our New York and London offices creates a very powerful platform for advising clients and executing global transactions. Financo is such an inspiring place to work, and I truly believe that my coworkers are the best in the business.
What’s the best piece of advice you have ever received?
When I was just starting my career, my parents told me: “Do what you love – life is too short not to.”
Where can we find you when you’re outside the office?
Outside! I am a huge fan of the outdoors, and I love getting out and hitting the road for a long run or bike ride. If it’s raining, I’ll settle for the gym!
