BIO

Raised in Portugal, born in Iraq to an English father and a Brazilian mother, I am very much a third culture kid. This has embedded in me a strong appreciation for different cultures and countries, each having a competitive advantage that needs to be appreciated.

Prior to White Star Capital, I have been an investor and operator at early stage startups. While at Global Founders Capital, a stage-agnostic global fund, I led and participated in over 30 transactions across four continents, including the likes of albert.com, Nested, Grubmarket, Goldbely and Canva. Prior to this, I was with UKCloud from founding to Series B, raising over £20m, and worked with Access Industries backed AINMT to launch a telecoms operator in Brazil. I began my career in the Investment Banking Division at UBS. I graduated from the University of Warwick and hold an MBA from London Business School.
