Welcome to my journey—a 33-year odyssey filled with global entrepreneurship and profound learning across diverse industries and cultures. With a robust background in the offshore sector, I’ve built a career steeped in integrity, expertise, and a commitment to excellence.
Educated across the USA, UK, Antarctica, UAE, Russia, France, The Netherlands, South Africa, Lesotho, and Mauritius, I have cultivated a multidisciplinary perspective that shapes my approach to global wealth architecture. My trajectory includes high-level positions such as Chairman, Financial Director, Managing Director, CEO, and Non-Executive Director in various financial entities, including Offshore Investment Funds, SPVs, OTCs, and Pension Funds. Since 2012, my focus has been on crafting personalized strategies tailored to the unique aspirations of my clients—a commitment that has driven my success.
About Me: A Global Perspective on Wealth Management
A Bachelor of Commerce graduate with specializations in Accounting, Statistics, and Tax, I am also a Certified Financial Planner specializing in Investment Properties, Alternative Investments, and Citizenship by Investment (CBI). My dedication and results have garnered me recognition as one of the Top 5 Advisors globally at Holborn Asset Management, where I achieved over £20,000,000 in business in a single year and received the Manager's Choice Award.
My mission is clear: to not just maintain but significantly enhance my clients' positions in the global economy. I am deeply committed to delivering returns that consistently outperform world stock markets while creating wealth without exposing clients to undue risk. The World Index serves as our benchmark, against which we measure and celebrate our successes.
Our global reach empowers me to offer comprehensive insights into private and corporate wealth opportunities across all sectors and regions. My family legacy in property development spans over a century, with my forefathers establishing thriving communities in South Africa. With a current property portfolio exceeding £5 billion, I bring unparalleled expertise and a passion for property that is deeply rooted in my heritage.

Exceptional Experience:Leveraging a rich family legacy in property development, I offer profound insights into building communities and financial success.

My goal is to earn your confidence through a measured, step-by-step approach, demonstrating my expertise and dedication at every turn. By consistently delivering results and maintaining open, transparent communication, I aim to become your trusted advisor for the long term.
In my journey, I’ve had the honor of meeting extraordinary leaders, including the esteemed Nelson Mandela. The lessons I gained from these experiences—integrity, perseverance, and the commitment to use one’s influence for the greater good—continue to inspire me in my professional endeavors.
With a global perspective, a personalized approach, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, I stand ready to guide you through the complex world of international finance, helping you achieve and exceed your financial objectives.
