I wear two hats: in charge of our thought leadership but also right at the coalface, a strong operator managing client relationships on transactions. Working with owners means you have to be well-informed, technically minded and also interested in people.

They want an ally who can match their pace but be unflappable. I help them steer towards consensus, keep perspective and am the first they turn to as a voice of calm.
