There were many reasons I chose to join Equilibrium as part of the Investment Team. The culture, the client-first approach, and the enthusiasm to grow the business all stood out to me. Having the support to further my education and encourage ambition is something I value highly.
Coming from a very different background, I’m eager to learn as much as possible about the financial industry. Being part of a small team managing over £1bn in assets gives me the chance to learn from experienced colleagues and get involved in every aspect of portfolio management.
Before joining Equilibrium, I spent most of my career as a professional session drummer, working alongside the likes of Platinum-selling artists and Grammy Award-winning producers. This role gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in diverse cultures while touring globally and to hone my ability to perform under high-pressure conditions – from commanding an arena stage before an audience of around 40,000 to appearing on the X Factor Celebrity series watched by millions.
From there, I retrained from music into finance and spent three years at Walker Crips Investment Management, starting as an Investment Manager Assistant before quickly progressing to Investment Manager upon completing the required examinations.
Outside of work, I still keep a foot in the music industry and am an avid poker player. For my sins, I’m also a watch enthusiast and hope to build a small collection of my own over time!
