An unconventional career path has given me unique insights which are the product of having been both on the inside and on the outside of two distinct but interacting worlds.

From 1993 to 2008, I held sell-side equity research positions with international investment banks, during which time I analysed European companies active in various consumer-related sectors, meeting with senior management to discuss their business priorities and strategy and marketing my investment ideas to institutional investors.

Before 1993, I held sales and marketing positions with multinational consumer goods companies with advertising, promotional and new product development responsibilities in the UK, Germany, France, Benelux and Switzerland.

This experience paved the way to all my subsequent activities, which include investor relations advisor to various publicly-listed companies, food industry consultant at Food Strategy Associates and President of the Consumer Analyst Group of Europe (CAGE), an international investment association that I founded in 2009.

Throughout my career, I have developed an extensive professional network which today includes hundreds of senior managers from several industry sectors and thousands of investment professionals. By leveraging this network, I can help personally-vetted third parties gain targeted and high-level access to a wide range of organisations.

Honesty and integrity guide all my thoughts and actions. This has allowed me to gain the trust and confidence of all my clients and business partners.
