Professional Biography

I started my private banking career with Lloyds Bank International in Guernsey in 1992. Following 3 years with the bank based in the Isle of Man, I relocated to Dubai in 2002. I now head the Dubai office for Quilter Cheviot, based in the DIFC and have been with the firm since 2016. I have a broad experience in working with private clients in the Middle East and globally, often in collaboration with other professional advisers. Quilter Cheviot specialises in the provision of discretionary portfolio management services. Portfolios can be held in our three booking centres; the UK mainland, Jersey or Dublin.
