About

Multi-asset investing experience, put to work on your lifestyle dreams

I'm an experienced senior banker with a demonstrated track record of building successful businesses across global banking — from American Express Bank and Bank of America to HSBC, where I led Financial Institutions coverage.

Today I run PowerMyMoney, a one-stop investment and risk management practice in personal and family financial planning, and FinvantEdge, a training and consulting firm focused on financial crime compliance, credit, trade and liquidity risk.

A personal finance enthusiast and multi-asset investor, I use my own investing experience to give clients practical advice that connects their money to their lifestyle goals.
