The Value I Bring...
I started working at age 11 and from that point became fascinated with businesses…how do they make money? What is the customer experience? And the best question of all…why does the customer come back? I love trying to answer that question for every company in our portfolio! I view the Emerging Wealth Strategy as one of the greatest investment opportunities of my lifetime and I am thrilled to manage this strategy with a great partner and a great team at a great firm. Each and every day offers an opportunity to grow and learn about cultures and great businesses around the world.
