About me: I’m originally from Canada and have been based in London for the past three years. Before London Business School, I spent six years working across private markets in Canada and the UK, including mid-market lending at Roynat Capital/Scotiabank, leveraged finance and debt advisory at Tomorrow Partners, and most recently as VP, Investments at VRG Capital, a mid-market focused private equity family office. I came to London Business School to deepen my investing toolkit, build a global network and prepare for the next stage of my career in private equity.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about team sports, competition and the discipline that comes with both. I spend much of my free time playing hockey, getting out on the field and running. I also love travelling and exploring new places, which has been one of my favourite parts of living in London and being so well connected to the rest of Europe.
I’m excited to be part of the MBA1Y2027 cohort and am always happy to connect with anyone interested in private markets, the Canadian perspective, life in London, travel, or just a good conversation.
Three topics I can be approached about: Finance; sports and fitness; travel.
