In my role as Senior Partner, I work closely with the CEO on governance, regulatory and client matters as well as our role as one of the largest member firms in the Grant Thornton International network.
I have been at the firm since 1992, have been involved in transactions since 1996 and have led deals as a partner since 2001. My sector experience includes technology, software and IT services, data and information services, healthcare and financial services, with a particular focus on private equity.
I have served in many leadership roles in and outside the firm during more than 30 years at Grant Thornton. I was appointed to the Strategic Leadership Team in January 2023 to lead the Deals & Business Consulting service line and my role was expanded to Head of Advisory in January 2024. Prior to that, I led Transaction Advisory Services. I have also served on the Partnership Governance Board for eight years and am currently the SLT Sponsor for Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage in our firm.
Between 2018 and 2023, I was Chair of ICAEW’s Corporate Finance Faculty Board, which contributes to policy development, practical initiatives and many consultations by international organisations, governments, regulators and other professional bodies. This was a great honour as the UK’s corporate finance community has a tremendous opportunity and influential role to play in unlocking growth across the economy. I also served on the ICAEW’s Technical Strategy Board until 2024.
I grew up in Mombasa, Kenya and moved to the UK to access higher education. Outside of work, I enjoy an active family life with my wife, three grown children and their families and I am an avid golfer and keen sports fan.
