About
People first.
I'm still learning, every day, from every conversation. Most of what I know came from listening to people who were generous enough to share their experience with me.
The story
Just someone who stayed curious.
I've spent the past decade or so in financial markets, mostly at Amana, a regulated brokerage based in the region. I started as an Account Manager and, with a lot of help from people around me, grew into a leadership role over time.
None of it felt like a straight line. I made mistakes, asked a lot of questions, and tried to listen more than I spoke. The lessons that stuck with me weren't really about markets, they were about people: what they care about, what worries them, what they're quietly trying to figure out.
These days I work alongside a small team and stay close to the clients and partners we serve. I'm not here to convince anyone of anything. I just enjoy honest conversations, sharing what I've picked up along the way, and learning from people who know more than I do, which is most of them.
"The more I learn, the more I realise how much there still is to learn."
