Biography

I am a co-founder of Native Finance, the leading tech platform in Europe for real-estate finance. Since its launch in 2018, the platform has priced over £800 million and completed around £100 million in development and investment transactions. Backers include financial technology company VC Passion Capital and top-tier angel investors. The platform has won multiple awards from leading industry publications such as Estates Gazette and Property Week, including the overall Tech category at the 2020 EG Awards. I have also personally been recognised as a 'rising star' and a 'trailblazer' by both of those publications.

Alongside my work I am also a Churchill Fellow and a Royal Society of Arts Fellow. I was previously Portfolio Manager at the Elton John AIDS Foundation, where I launched one of the world's first HIV Social Impact Bonds. I started my career on the London trading floor at Goldman Sachs.
