Institutional Investment
Bridging technology innovation with institutional capital allocation
​Twenty-five years across the investment value chain has taught me that the most elegant strategies fail without practical implementation. From back-office operations at the London Stock Exchange to leading UK operations for Global Fund Search, I focus on the second-order effects and implementation frictions that escape conventional modeling but determine real-world outcomes.
​
My approach combines live market intelligence with systems thinking to help institutional investors navigate an increasingly complex landscape. Whether working with LGPS pools on asset manager procurement, advising on multi-asset portfolio construction, or developing responsible investment frameworks, I bring a practitioner's understanding of how capital systems actually function under pressure.
Why This Matters Now
The institutional investment landscape is evolving rapidly. LGPS consolidation, private market access challenges, ESG integration complexities, and technology disruption are creating new implementation pressures. Having worked across the value chain - from exchange infrastructure to asset owner governance - I bring a system-level view of how incentives, oversight, and messaging interact.
​
This perspective proves valuable whether you're an asset owner refining mandates, a consultant enhancing research processes, or a manager seeking to understand evolving allocator requirements. I operate without commercial distortion, bringing challenge and insight rather than representation or advocacy.
