York – Executed IPO and capital markets transactions for listed and pre-IPO clients, producing investor reporting and disclosure alongside investment banks, corporate law firms and auditors through the full transaction cycle. – The grounding behind the financial rigour I bring to operating roles: investor-grade numbers, prepared to a deadline, defensible under scrutiny.
