About me:
I began my career at Deloitte in audit and assurance across South Africa and the US, where I qualified as a chartered accountant and developed a strong foundation in the world of finance. After leading audit teams for clients in diverse sectors, I transitioned to capital markets advisory at EY London, supporting IPOs, M&A and debt transactions, while deepening my valuation and financial modelling expertise.
More recently, I joined Goldman Sachs in London, where I work in asset management. I have covered products like private equity and private credit and overseeing valuations, while also contributing to the launch of flagship funds across the firm. These experiences have reinforced my interest in private markets and investment finance and I’m passionate about bridging technical rigour with strategic insight.
Having lived and worked across Africa, the US and Europe, I bring a multicultural perspective and enjoy collaborating across teams and regions. Outside of work, I stay engaged through mentorship, community initiatives and student finance societies that promote inclusion in financial services.
Three topics I can be approached about: Private markets; balancing the MiFPT programme with a hectic work schedule; studying at LBS.
