After a short (two year) tenure in my family’s private economic consulting business, I spent the ensuing 20 years of my career working solely and immersed in private client wealth management.I had an 11-year career at UBS (April 2002 – May 2013), before ultimately attaining the title of Executive Director status, all the while building core competencies in domestic and international equities, domestic and international fixed-income securities, real estate investment trusts, alternative investments and derivatives.In June 2013, together with seven other founding partners, we started Escala Partners, a wealth management business providing objective, flexible and timely investment services to high-net-worth individuals and families, family offices, and not-for-profit organisations. In a team with Mason Allamby (with whom I have worked since ~2006), and more recently, Chris Quigley and Steve de Bolfo (assisted by Amelia Kelleher), we provide professional financial advice to approximately 100 high net worth families.
