With over 15 years of experience in infrastructure finance and development, I am passionate about creating positive social and environmental impact through innovative and sustainable investment solutions. As an Investment Lead at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), I manage a portfolio of impact investment funds across multiple sectors, including infrastructure and climate, technology, and healthcare.In my current role, I am responsible for the entire life cycle of fund management, from selection and due diligence to structuring, negotiation, execution, and strategic oversight. I assess fund managers on FCDO's investment criteria for financial returns, development impact, and ESG systems. I also blend investment with technical assistance to improve development impact and increase financial returns. I led a change of fund manager for one of the impact funds post a default event, and a £5m incubation programme for innovative enterprises in the climate sector. I leverage my skills in infrastructure finance, development finance, and corporate finance to deliver high-quality advisory services to FCDO and its partners.
Listed skills include Structured Finance, Infrastructure Finance, Credit Analysis, Business Strategy, and 9 others.
