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.

Respect is free.
Crazy how some people still can’t afford it.

One thing I’ve learned working with all kinds of teams:

Titles don’t tell you who someone is.
Their behavior does.

I’ve seen interns treated like they didn’t matter…
And I’ve watched those same interns become the smartest people in the room.

I’ve seen leaders who only showed respect upward…
And leaders who treated everyone from the CEO to the janitor with the same kindness.

And the difference is obvious.

Real respect isn’t about
job titles,
degrees,
or LinkedIn headlines.

It’s about how you treat people before you know who they are.

Because the truth is simple:
You never regret showing someone respect.
But you might regret assuming they didn’t deserve it.

So here’s the real question:

If no one knew your title…
Would your behavior still make people feel valued?

Every marketer has been here.

Meanwhile, the marketing team is just trying to hold it together.

But here’s the truth —
Marketing isn’t about making things look good.
It’s about making things work.

✅ It turns chaos into clarity.
✅ It connects what the product does with what people actually want.
✅ It builds systems that create demand instead of chasing it.

When you treat marketing as design-on-demand, you get noise.
When you treat it as strategy, you get growth. 🚀

Not everyone wants the version of you that wins.

But those who do will help you get there.

Here’s the career advice they don't teach in school:
Individual talent only takes you so far.

The big multiplier is who you surround yourself with.
And more importantly, how you protect your inner circle.

(Credit: Maryann (MJ) Jamieson)

Think about your biggest career wins:

🔹 Who opened that door?
🔹 Who made that introduction?
🔹 Who challenged your thinking?
🔹 Who pushed you to level up?
🔹 Who celebrated your growth?
🔹 Who had your back when you doubted yourself?

Now think about your setbacks:

🚫 Who doubted every move?
🚫 Who spread subtle negativity?
🚫 Who made you question yourself?
🚫 Who downplayed your success?
🚫 Who disappeared when it mattered?

Success leaves clues.

And the biggest one is this:
Behind every major achievement is a circle of people who believed in you.
But first, you had to clear out those who didn't.

5 signs someone needs to go:

1/ They downplay your achievements
 ↳ "You just got lucky"
↳ Always finds the negative angle

2/ They compete instead of collaborate
↳ Turn every win into a comparison
↳ Make success feel like a zero-sum game

3/ They disappear during challenges
↳ Show up for celebrations, not struggles
↳ Always too busy when you need support

4/ They leak your energy
↳ Every interaction leaves you drained
↳ Turn excitement into doubt

5/ They guard information like weapons
↳ Hoard connections and opportunities
↳ See your growth as their loss

Remember:
You become who you hang around.
Not everyone clapping is in your corner.

Some cheer your wins.
Others cheer your struggles. 
Learn to spot the difference.

Building your circle matters.
Protecting it is critical.

Some years test your patience more than your strategy.

Not every year is about scaling fast, hitting every goal, or breaking records.
Some years are about surviving the turbulence and learning who you are when nothing goes as planned.

Those seasons don’t define your losses - they define your foundation.

Because:

👉 The lessons learned in difficult years become the instincts you rely on in successful ones.
👉 The resilience you build under pressure becomes the quiet strength that carries your team.
👉 The humility gained in setbacks makes you a better leader when you rise again.

You don’t lose when progress slows.
You build depth, discipline, and direction.

Growth doesn’t always look like expansion.
Sometimes, it looks like endurance.

Some years you win.
Other years - you build the person who will.

Marketing managers don’t sign up to do it all. They’re just expected to.

Write the copy.
Run the ads.
Design the creative.
Analyze the data.
Manage the projects.

No one can excel when they’re spread this thin.

Marketing managers shouldn’t have to wear every hat. They should be supported so they can focus on leading strategy and driving growth.

Knowledge means nothing without movement.
And movement means nothing without repetition.

We saw so many people try to jump to the finish line -
scrolling for answers, collecting advice, taking notes on notes
but never taking action.

The truth is simpler:

If you’re lost → learn.
Information gives clarity.
You can’t solve a problem you don’t understand.

If you’ve learned → act.
Books and courses don’t build momentum.
Execution does.

If you’re acting → stay consistent.
One great day won’t change your life.
A hundred small ones will.

Growth isn’t magic.
It’s a sequence:

Learn → Do → Repeat.

No shortcuts.
No secret formula.
Just education, execution, and consistency - stacked brick by brick.

If you want to change your future, don’t look for a hack.

Look for your next step.

Working with smart people is great.
But it is not enough.

Because intelligence can solve problems.
But humility and kindness build cultures where problems don’t have to exist in the first place.

Here’s why it matters so much 👇

Kind and humble people:

They make collaboration effortless.
You don’t waste energy defending ideas or egos. 
You build together - faster, cleaner, and with more trust.

They create psychological safety.
When people feel respected, they speak up, share bold ideas, 
and admit mistakes early. 
That’s how teams innovate and grow.

They inspire long-term loyalty.
People don’t leave companies - they leave toxic dynamics. 
Working with grounded, genuine teammates keeps great talent around.

 Ways to practice kindness and humility at work:

Listen more than you talk.
You don’t need to have the loudest voice to have the strongest impact. 
Listening builds connection and earns respect.

Give credit - generously.
Acknowledging others’ work doesn’t diminish your own. 
It multiplies the trust and energy in your team.

Keep learning.
The moment you think you’ve “arrived,” you stop growing. 
Stay curious, stay open, and never let success make you unapproachable.

Kind people build strong teams.
Strong teams create big results.

We live in a world obsessed with titles, but every person carries invisible stories of struggle, wisdom, and potential that no business card can capture.

When we lead with respect rather than hierarchy, we unlock something powerful: authentic human connection.

What i have learned about true leadership.

Real leaders don't wait to see credentials before showing respect. 

They understand that:
- Dignity isn't distributed based on job descriptions
- Today's intern could be tomorrow's innovator
- Every person has something valuable to teach us
- Character reveals itself in how we treat those who "can't help us"

Three simple shifts that change everything

1. Replace "What do you do?" with “What are you passionate about?"
Watch how conversations transform when you're genuinely curious about the person, not their position.

2. Listen for the story, not the status: 
Everyone has a journey. 

The most interesting people are often hiding in plain sight.

3. Practice "respectful curiosity": 
Approach each interaction wondering what you might learn, rather than what you might gain.

When you treat the receptionist with the same courtesy as the CEO, people notice. 

When you thank the maintenance team as genuinely as you thank your biggest client, culture shifts.

Respect isn't a favor you give; it's a standard you set.

Think about someone you interact with regularly but might overlook. 

What would happen if you approached them with fresh eyes tomorrow?

The most successful people I know aren't those who demand respect—they're the ones who give it freely.

What's one assumption you've made about someone that completely changed when you got to know their story?

The worst career advice I ever heard: "You're too old to start over."


Let's normalize people making big career changes at any age.

The most heartbreaking conversations I have are with people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who tell me:

"I wish I'd done this 10 years ago."

They stayed in careers they hated because they thought they were too old to pivot.

Too established to start over. Too far down one path to choose another.

So they played it safe. Collected the paycheck. Convinced themselves it was "too late."

Then one day they wake up and realize they spent decades building a life that doesn't fit them anymore.

Here's what nobody tells you about making a big career change later in life:

You're not starting from zero. You're starting from experience.

The courage it takes to change direction at 45 or 55 or 65? That's something most people will never have.

I've worked with clients who completely changed industries in their 50s.

Left corporate jobs to start businesses. Went back to school. Pursued passions they'd buried for 20 years.

Every single one said the same thing: "I should have done this sooner."

Age doesn't disqualify you from wanting something different. It qualifies you to finally go after what you actually want.

Stop waiting for permission. Stop waiting for the "right time."

There's no expiration date on ambition.

Start now, or spend the next 10 years wishing you had.

Marketers,

Here’s a table with 6 copywriting formulas for writing effective ads:

Bookmark this 🔖

No alternative text description for this image

Marketing without humor
is like pizza without cheese

You can serve it 

But 

No one’s coming back for seconds.
Funny doesn’t mean unprofessional.

It means relatable.
It means human.

People don’t remember the product.
They remember how you made them feel.

So make them feel good.

Add flavor to your brand. 
Not just features.

Bad copywriting:

• Here's my product
• Here's what it does
• Here's what's so good about it

Good copywriting:

• Here's your problem
• Here's the benefit of solving it
• Here's why what you've tried has failed
• And by the way here's a product that will help you solve it

You can mute people in real life too.

It is called boundaries.

Setting boundaries isn’t rude.
It’s responsible.

You’re not meant to be available for everyone, all the time.
Protecting your time, focus, and mental space doesn’t make you cold — it makes you effective.

Boundaries aren’t walls — they’re filters.
They help you decide what gets your attention and what doesn’t.
Because not everyone deserves access to your time or mental space.

🚫 Situations where you need to stop wasting time and set boundaries:

Endless negativity.
If someone always brings problems but never solutions — stop being their emotional landfill. You can listen with empathy without absorbing their energy.

Unclear work expectations.
If you’re constantly saying “yes” to extra work, late calls, or unrealistic deadlines, you’re not being a team player — you’re burning out. Boundaries protect both your energy and your quality of work.

Relationships that drain instead of support.
When every conversation leaves you exhausted or doubting yourself, it’s a sign to step back. Not everyone is meant to stay in your circle forever.

🧭 Simple ways to set healthy boundaries:

Communicate clearly — not emotionally.
Boundaries aren’t ultimatums. They’re statements of respect.
→ “I can’t take calls after 7 PM.”
→ “I’ll join, but only if we can stick to 30 minutes.”

Protect your calendar.
Treat your time like money. If you wouldn’t give away $1,000 easily, don’t give away hours of focus to low-value conversations or tasks.

Practice saying no — kindly.
“No” isn’t rejection. It’s redirection.
You’re saying no to one thing so you can say yes to something that matters more.

Boundaries don’t push people away.
They teach people how to treat you — and show that you take yourself seriously.

Because when you stop pouring into things that drain you,
you finally have energy for the things that build you. 

♻️ Repost to remind others that protecting your energy is productive.

Most people never lose because they tried.

They lost because they never started.

Trying doesn’t guarantee you’ll win.
 But not trying guarantees you won’t.

Every idea, business, or dream you’ve ever admired
Started with someone willing to look a little foolish at first.

You don’t need perfect timing.
You need momentum.

💡Start small. Try anyway.

The worst that happens? You learn.

The best? You win.

Prompts for Marketers [SAVE THIS]

The brands crushing Holiday 2025 won't have the biggest budgets. They'll have the biggest head start.

The holiday season is weeks away. And here's what most brands don't realize:

TikTok Shop just became the great equalizer.

Last year, holiday content views jumped 2.57x on the platform. But the real story? It wasn't just enterprise brands capturing that growth. It was anyone who showed up early.

Think about this:
While you're perfecting your Q4 strategy...
While you're negotiating with agencies...
While you're waiting for the "right time"...

Someone with half your budget just went live.

Here's what TikTok Shop gives everyone:
• Direct access to millions of shoppers discovering new brands daily
• Creator partnerships that work at any budget level

The fastest beats the biggest.
Big brands, small brands, first-timers. Everyone gets the same tools on TikTok Shop. The same shot at winning.

The only difference?

Your move.

Every January, the same companies scramble for the same SEO help.

"We need to fix our rankings."
"Competitors are crushing us in search."
"Our organic traffic tanked last quarter."

You know what those competitors did differently?

They started their SEO work in November.

While everyone else was planning holiday parties, they were building backlinks.

While budgets sat unused, they invested in their 2025 foundation.

Now it's Black Friday for everything except common sense.

Companies will spend thousands on ads that disappear tomorrow.
But won't invest in SEO that compounds forever.

Here's the pattern:

November: "SEO can wait until Q1"
January: "We need SEO yesterday"
March: "Why aren't we ranking yet?"
June: "Maybe we should've started earlier"

Meanwhile, smart companies use Black Friday to lock in their SEO advantage.

SeoProfy gets it. They know smart marketers use year-end budget to get ahead.

Look at their actual results:
• Migrated 1M+ pages → gained 65% traffic
• Crypto site: 6x organic growth in 9 months
• Software company: 20K to 200K monthly visitors

Their Black Friday deals:
→ 40% off AI-powered SEO audits
→ Buy 5 backlinks, get 2 free
→ Double your deliverables

Every week you wait is a week competitors pull ahead.

SEO compounds. The work you do today shows up in 3-6 months.
The work you skip today? That gap never closes.

Your competitors are planning their Q1 SEO strategy.
You could already be three months into yours.

Check out SeoProfy's Black Friday deals → seoprofy.com/black-friday

P.S. Use code "DimondFriday" to extend these deals an extra week because good SEO decisions shouldn't depend on arbitrary deadlines.
