In my role as Head of Advisory, I am responsible for coordinating growth across all three areas of our Advisory business, focused on increasing collaboration and leveraging investment.
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.
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, prior to that, 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 now serve on ICAEW’s Technical Strategy Board.
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.
