I joined Hazlewoods in January 2026 as an Associate Director in the Corporate Finance team, following nine years with PwC across its London and Hong Kong offices. I am an experienced M&A advisor specialising in domestic and cross border transactions, supporting private equity funds and their portfolio companies, asset managers, and management owned businesses through acquisitions, divestments, capital deployment, and refinancing processes.
My sector experience spans healthcare, homecare, nurseries, education, manufacturing, retail, food and beverage, catering, logistics and aviation, among others. On the buy side, I draw on a background in management consulting to build a deep understanding of target business models, key due diligence risks, potential synergies, and areas for growth. On the sell side, I work closely with management teams to clearly articulate business fundamentals and financial performance through high quality vendor assist and vendor due diligence reporting.
Having advised organisations from early stage growth businesses through to publicly listed companies, I understand the M&A considerations relevant at each stage of the business lifecycle and bring a balanced, commercially focused perspective to every transaction.
