Within the professional and established infrastructure of The Kona Group I bring my 20 years of experience in financial markets and 18 years of managerial experience within that industry to clients who are looking to take both their professional and personal lives to the next level.

I decided to devote 12 months to reconnect with my 4 young daughters and very understanding wife, which I felt very fortunate to be in a position to do. I left CIMB as Head of Sales Trading and Execution and valuable member of a 4 man management team that ran the business.
