I founded my company recently in the beginning of the upheaval in the world economies in 2020 as I perceived the need for SME’s to survive and thrive in a rapidly changing and uncertain environment. Reflecting on my own experiences over the last 25 years across different firms from start-ups to public companies, I know how to provide clients straight, practical and realistic advice, tools and solutions to tackle volatile environments and a new reality.
After completing my MBA at the University of Chicago, I started my financial career at E*TRADE Financial where as Senior Project Manager I helped launch the after-hours trading product under budget and ahead of schedule before being promoted to Investor Relations where I incorporated my Profitability Equation Template to create and prepare the content and messaging for the CEO’s quarterly earnings calls and Investor Roadshow presentations.
After E*TRADE I moved to the UK and started my career in FX EM Institutional Sales where my success in launching a middle east business brought me to Dubai and the opportunity to launch an FX business for a start up in the midst of the economic crisis and in the teeth of tough competition from well entrenched and superior resourced competitors. Within 18 months I built a multi-million dollar FX sales business that eventually recruited senior staff from the same competitors who swore my business would never get off the ground. (As the old adage says, if you can’t beat them – join them).
After Business Development, I moved to an executive role, serving as a COO for a global SME where I transformed its operations and worked closely with the CEO to grow its business into profitability and expand to other markets. In 2020 I branched out on my own and have been on a recent assignment helping prepare the launch of a new Property Management Company in Dubai for Q4 2020. I was instrumental in setting up its structure, operations, and creating the business plan for raising capital with investors.
I believe true success is only realised through the success of my clients. Building Long term relationships and client success in those relationships are my Key Performance Indicators.
