For the past 6 years, I have also been actively involved as a trader and discretionary fund manager, giving me hands-on experience in live markets, risk management, and portfolio construction. This practical market exposure has shaped the way I advise and the way I build investment solutions—balancing opportunity with responsibility, and ambition with disciplined oversight.
Today, I serve as a Key Individual and business owner across multiple ventures, including both Category I and Category II Financial Services Providers, as well as compliance-focused businesses. These roles have deepened my understanding of regulatory governance, ethical leadership, and the importance of transparent, client-centric financial services.
My work has never been just about numbers. It’s about people, purpose, and building relationships based on trust. Every business I build and every client I work with is guided by the same belief: that access to honest guidance, sound structure, and clear financial insight can change the direction of someone’s life. That belief continues to drive everything I do.
