Summary
I began my career in FX and Derivatives Trading within the Asset Management industry before transitioning into Treasury and Risk Management. Over time, my passion for infrastructure project finance grew, driven by my desire to work on real assets, and the urgent need for critical infrastructure in Africa. This led me to pursue an advanced degree in the field, and I am now focused on building my career in Infrastructure Project Financing, particularly in Africa, and other emerging markets.
