More about me

I am a speechwriter and ghostwrite white papers/op-eds for organizations and high profile leaders. I am a speechwriter providing communications counsel, media training, and frequently act as a moderator at conferences, roundtables and webinars.

My private client work includes intergovernmental organizations, a UK management consultancy., PR firms and private sector companies. Investors rely on my investigative expertise to assess the viability of important investment decisions, at a fraction of the cost of typical research firms.

I previously served as business editor of an English language daily affiliated to the New York Times and covered the Philippines for the Financial Times.


I also write about emerging markets, cryptocurrencies, financial regulation, the growing economic relationship between China and the Middle East and many other related subject areas.

My bylines/broadcasts include: Al Jazeera English, Dubai-Eye 103.8FM, Euromoney, Finance Asia, Financial Times, Global Finance, Global Integrity, Global Markets, Good Morning Britain, Haymarket, Hedge Funds Review, Institutional Investor, LNG Publishing (US), Nikkei Asia, Reuters, South China Morning Post, The Straits Times and TRT World.

The CFA Institute previously voted me "Best Journalist" in their regional press awards.

I am a runner, and despite a teenage close encounter, I am a convert to the 'rare earth' explanation of existence, although we might be living in a simulation. And I am a closet chef!
