Published Author and Enterprising Woman of the Year Award 2016 winner
I work in the financial markets and have done for almost two decades. Honesty, integrity and ethics are key values I’m committed to putting at the centre of everything I do in both my personal and professional pursuits.
Over almost two decades, I have developed a wealth of international experience and expertise in financial services, having spent the first 12 years of my career working on the trading floors of some of the world’s most recognised investment banks.
Since 2011, I have run my own financial services business, Affinity Capital. I have now moved into a Chairman role at Affinity and at the same time, I have joined the board of Staude Capital. In addition, I have taken on the role of Head of Corporate Affairs at The Global Value Fund.
I am passionate about diversity, equality, education and ensuring that investors have access to the very best investments. Staude Capital, Affinity Capital and The Global Value Fund are all companies that offers these rare attributes in spades.
My support for diversity and equality doesn’t stop in the workplace. I’m a strong advocate for many charitable causes, especially ones that prevent animal and child cruelty, tackle environmental problems or promote more sustainable food sources.
