Having acted on a broad range of projects for both sponsors, financiers and government counterparties, I bring a rounded approach to transactions and projects financings that reflects my understanding of the drivers of all of the parties at the table. I enjoy delivering streamlined and efficient transactions and contributing to transformational projects.
I have particular interest in clean energy technologies, hydrogen and transport infrastructure.
