Trusted bespoke advisory to prominent families and founders
Trusted Alternative Asset Advisory
I founded Mana Ventures to provide affluent families, UHNWIs, and founders with clear, honest advice that cuts through complexity. Too often, clients are overwhelmed with convoluted strategies that complicate their decisions and consume their time.
I believe in the power of straightforward, pragmatic guidance that respects the client’s time and delivers real, actionable solutions tailored to their unique needs.
I collaborate closely with a select network of top private client solicitors, family offices, trust companies, and wealth managers. My focus is on private company investments, personal ventures, and real estate, working as a trusted sounding board to help clients confidently navigate their business and personal journeys.
By simplifying complex situations, I empower clients to achieve clarity and long-term success.

As a PwC trained Chartered Accountant with over 20 years of financial advisory experience, I serve as a trusted advisor to affluent families, UHNWIs, and founders.
For private clients, I support all aspects of their business life, helping to solve financial and relational challenges in their private company investments, real estate portfolios or personal ventures.
For founders, I provide strategic support in business planning, growth strategy, and exit preparation, ensuring that both business objectives and personal financial goals are aligned for sustainable success.
l have worked with prominent families, sports personalities, and business leaders across the US, UK, Europe, and the Middle East, with the highest level of discretion.
