With over 35 years in finance (of which 22 years with Morgan Stanley), I've honed a deep expertise in investments, M&A, capital markets, and broader investment banking & corporate finance, currently guiding both CORDET and Trust Payments as Chair. My mission is to drive sustainable growth and innovation, leveraging my background to support European mid-market companies. At the core, I'm committed to creating value through strategic leadership and fostering a culture that celebrates diverse perspectives. At CORDET Capital Partners LLP, which I founded, we specialize in private capital and private credit / direct lending solutions, a testament to my dedication to providing robust and responsible financial structures for our clients. My role requires a strategic blend of investment acumen and a deep understanding of the unique needs of the European market, ensuring that we empower businesses with the capital necessary to thrive.
