Outside of work

If you could travel anywhere, where would you travel to, and why?
French Polynesia – because it’s miles from anywhere and it looks like paradise.

Why and how did you get into financial services?
I’ve been interested from an early age, as an Aunt always bought me some shares for my birthday, so I got to watch them grow in value.
