About Me: I work at UBS Asset Management in London, collaborating with portfolio managers and research teams across a range of active equity strategies. My background combines expertise in financial accounting, securities analysis, and portfolio risk management, with a strong interest in capital allocation across public and private markets, macroeconomic regime dynamics, and fund industry trends. In parallel, I am the founder of Finakets, where I translate institutional thinking into AI-native tools.
At LBS, I am pursuing the Masters in Finance Part-time programme to deepen my technical expertise and engage with peers who share my passion for finance, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
Three topics I can be approached about: Equity analysis; Venture capital, fintech and innovation; Systems thinking.
