I began my career in equity compensation 20 years ago. Fresh out of university and eager to build a career in financial services, I joined Capita — a decision that proved foundational. There, I developed deep technical expertise by supporting global organisations with equity administration, trustee services, and compliance. Like many of my peers at the time, I hadn’t planned to work in this niche business, but it quickly became a springboard into a rewarding and long-term career in the industry.

After spending time travelling and working across various banking roles, I returned to Capita to continue where I left off. In this second chapter, I specialised in onboarding clients to our administration platform, managing data migrations, and overseeing corporate actions. As an implementation manager, I led data reviews, created project frameworks, and established long-term administrative processes — always with a focus on delivering trust and operational confidence to clients.

With a passion for technical storytelling, I became a regular contributor to sales engagements, eventually transitioning into a full-time career in equity compensation sales. Over the past 11 years, I held roles at Capita and later at Solium/Morgan Stanley, where I launched and scaled their European Private Markets business in 2018. I was proud to partner with some of Europe’s most innovative and high-growth companies — including Revolut, Monzo, Starling Bank, Vinted, SumUp, GetYourGuide and many more — helping them manage their most valuable employee incentive data.

The equity landscape has evolved dramatically since I started out. Today, more companies understand the strategic value of employee equity in attracting and retaining top talent. At Elevate Equity, our mission is to help founders stay focused on scaling their businesses — with full confidence that their equity data is clean, accurate, and in expert hands.
