I'm offering
I have spent my career across capital markets, corporate advisory and political economy. My focus has primarily been on structuring and negotiating solutions for complex small- and medium-size companies with growth stories that make them less obvious investment opportunities - whether it be due to their geography, technology or business strategy.
I currently am a Partner at Alphier Capital, a boutique corporate advisory shop based in London. At Alphier, I manage a team specializing in frontier and emerging market transactions. My team and I are experienced sitting within existing private and public businesses and prepare them for international markets. That includes financial analysis and modeling, sculpting and marketing the narrative, and structuring and negotiating capital raises.
