As partner and national practice leader for corporate finance and infrastructure, I strive to bring the best of Grant Thornton's capabilities and resources to our clients.
I specialize in advising domestic and international clients on transactions, mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, valuations and fairness opinions, including public-private partnerships and project financing. I enjoy the opportunity to work with clients across a range of industries, with a focus on power and infrastructure.
Before coming to Toronto in 2008, I was a member of the firm's capital markets team in London, England. Previously, I was on the mergers and acquisition team at a large Canadian energy company, where I was project manager for greenfield and brownfield development and had the opportunity to work on major acquisitions.
Â
In my current role I’m pleased to help our clients understand business value through investment analysis, business valuation and fairness opinions; create and realize value through transactions; and implement financing strategies to restructure balance sheets or source growth capital.
I sit on the infrastructure advisory committee of the Toronto Board of Trade, the Board of the Nova Scotia Nature Trust and the Grant Thornton LLP Partnership Board.
