Distill complex situations into actionable insights.

I help executives, managers, investors and professional services teams make better, faster decisions by:

  • Providing senior-level expertise in thematic research & analysis, buy-side due diligence, and financial modelling.
  • Delivering workshops and consulting on how (and when) to use generative AI for professional work.

I approach this from the perspective of a practitioner and subject matter expert. With fifteen years in financial markets, combining listed markets (A-REIT) research, deal execution in private equity, and independent consulting, I understand professional workflows and what separates an effective process from busywork.

Generative AI software and large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft’s Copilot are powerful tools that can save time, make a team more productive, or extend its capabilities. But they also have real limitations and can make mistakes.

I offer workshops covering how and when to use LLMs for non-technical professionals such as executives, managers, investors, and professional services. The principles I cover are tech-agnostic and work with any tool.

I also offer consulting services to organisations wishing to evaluate vendors, build generative AI into their workflow, or follow up a workshop with ongoing support.

Mid-market buyers (strategic acquirers, independent sponsors, and emerging investment firms) often lack the resources to evaluate acquisition targets, execute transactions, and design & build their investment process.

I offer senior expertise on a fractional or project basis, without fixed overhead. My experience includes:

  • Leading commercial due diligence and financial modelling for multiple buy-and-build acquisitions;
  • Creating a model term sheet for an early-stage investor that drew on AIC and NVCA best practices;
  • Executing a seed-stage investment that later joined Y Combinator and exited to a strategic buyer; and
  • Publishing Australia’s most comprehensive property funds database (covering 70+ managers & ~A$285B in assets).

I’ve worked for 15 years across listed & private markets in Australia. My experience includes equities and REIT research, private equity, corporate venture capital, and independent consulting. I’m a CFA charterholder with an MBA from AGSM (UNSW).

I specialise in combining bottom-up company analysis with top-down industry and macro perspectives to deliver unique insights. I’ve done this in sectors from emerging technology to commercial real estate.

My experience spans the entire investment life cycle: identifying opportunities, leading commercial due diligence and financial modelling, developing investment cases, and working with management teams after acquisition.
