I have a PhD from the London School of Economics, and have presented papers on financial theory at a number of conferences. I am currently researching various topics in Philosophy and Finance at the CPNSS at LSE.

I also have 20 years of financial markets experience advising clients on asset allocation, portfolio strategy and investment decisions.

Previously, I was Director of Alternative Assets at Prudential M&G where I managed the firm's £3bn allocation to alternative investments which included hedge funds, private equity, and infrastructure funds.
