What sectors do you focus on?
The sectors that I mainly focus on are renewable energy, venture capital & private equity, and more recently carbon market funds. The rapid growth and potential within these industries makes it an exciting time to be involved in these areas.

What attracted you to Forrester Partners?
One of the big draws for me was their level of international experience. There is an excellent global client base that has been built up, developed and strengthened, and this really shows in the excellent relations between Forrester Partners and those who work with them.

What other interests do you have?
Scotland has some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world, and I try to fit a round of golf in whenever I can at the Carnoustie course.
