Throughout my career, I have built a diverse and successful track record across the financial sector. Most recently, as a Partner at Alpha Group PLC, I honed my skills in sales, relationship management and strategic analysis of currency risk/risk-management implementation policy/tools. Making over 100 outbound cold calls daily to C-Suite executives, building a client portfolio that exceeded USD 150 million in annual trades within my first year. I was promoted to Partner in under 12 months and awarded equity, thanks to my ability to combine strategic insight with a deep understanding of currency risk management. This experience helped me develop a keen eye for macroeconomic factors and financial risk management strategies for medium-large-sized corporates Australia-wide with a material exposure to FX.

My entrepreneurial spirit led me to found iLoanDirect, where I directed a development team and launched a commercially viable product for the business finance sector. Through securing partnerships with over 10 non-bank lenders and building a network of more than 30 brokers, I facilitated successful engagements that led to revenue generation within the first week of operation. Before founding iLoanDirect, I brokered over AUD 1M in finance for Australian SMEs at Valiant Finance, leveraging strong relationships with clients and banks.
