Expertise
Off the Record
A few things you
won't find on LinkedIn
01
My morning routine starts with espresso. Non-negotiable.
02
I’ve been a Manchester United fan since I could walk. Through the highs and the lows.
03
I have a growing passion for watches. Grand Seiko Birch, Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon, and AP Royal Oak are on my wishlist.
04
Sailing taught me that you can’t control the wind, only adjust your sails.
05
I believe the gym is the best place to think. Something about lifting clears the mind.
06
I find inspiration in Greek mythology and Roman history. Stoicism and Marcus Aurelius resonate deeply.
