My practical experience in alternative investment industries has equipped me with the analytical skills and risk management expertise that, combined with my Charter, uniquely position me for a role in commodity trading or alternative asset management. In my tenure managing the value and profitability of assets, a key realization has been that people are the most valuable asset. I prioritize interpersonal relationships — building teams and networks and leveraging these to create profitable, risk-optimized ecosystems in which stakeholders thrive and people grow businesses together. Living abroad bolstered my attention to the global market, defining for me a holistic perspective on the interdependence of markets and shaping my interest in international opportunities.
