What’s your one top tip for doing a deal?
To be honest, I’m not a fantastic “deal maker”, so take these tips with a pinch of salt. First, find people you trust and want to work with long term. If you work with great people and teams, you’ll soon discover more opportunities.

Finally, knowing when to say “no” is more important than knowing when to say “yes”.Technically I created my first job.
Was there ever a point when you wanted to trade it all in for a different career? And, if so, what would that career be? Not really, I love what I do. Everyone has good days and bad days in any vocation. The beauty of financial markets is that it allows you to explore a world of ideas, imagine what is possible, but then also requires the far more challenging task of calculating what is probable.
