Redefining Fund Administration | Speaker | Podcast Host | Alternative Investments Innovator

I’ve spent over two decades in fund administration, helping managers across hedge funds, private equity, credit, real estate and digital assets navigate complexity, scale operations, and unlock efficiency.

Since 2015, I’ve worked on the front lines of digital asset fund services—supporting some of the industry's first crypto funds. My work has also included building Gen AI-powered workflows, launching investor portals, and designing fund ops infrastructure from the ground up.

Today, I serve as Managing Director, USA at The Ascent Group, a global fund administrator with $40B+ AUA and a clear vision: combine high-touch service with proprietary, tech-forward solutions that actually work for fund managers.

What excites me?
🔹 Helping GPs scale without sacrificing control
🔹 Supporting  traditional funds and tokenized and digital-native fund strategies
🔹 Collaborating with teams that want to push the space forward

Let’s connect if you're exploring new launches, rethinking your admin infrastructure, or just want to compare notes on where the industry’s headed.
