Helping small and medium scale companies access the funding needed to achieve their business goals is something I have always been passionate about.

Based in our Cardiff office, I am responsible for helping SME businesses across a variety of industries in south Wales to secure different kinds of funding.

I have over four years of work experience in banking and corporate finance. Prior to joining Development Bank of Wales, I worked with GS Verde Corporate Finance as a corporate finance executive.

I hold an MSc degree in Finance and Big Data Analytics from Swansea University.
