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.

PropertyBlawg

Property Blawg is a legal news blog on property and conveyancing law for property lawyers and the general public including those looking for a conveyancer in order to sell or buy a house.

A complex area of law requiring expert advice from solicitors, property law governs real rights and personal rights in property, with distinction made, in civil law systems, between moveable and immoveable property.

With the legal assistance of a conveyancing solicitor, one of the most common types of property transaction is that of conveyancing where the legal title of property is transferred from one person to another.

If you’re looking to contribute an outstanding blog post here regarding property law or property law news, please get in touch.

Helping Ambitious Lawyers & Law Firms Prosper w/ AI-Enhanced Marketing & Legal Expertise | Director @ Leading Agency MLT Digital | Ex-Lawyer, Consultant & Connector | Blawg Founder - WardblawG, Five Fantastic Lawyers etc

Former lawyer, at MLT Digital my work revolves around blending AI-enhanced marketing strategies with deep legal expertise to drive growth and success for law firms. 

My journey in the legal field began at Maclay Murray & Spens LLP (now part of Dentons), which provided a solid foundation for my subsequent role at MLT, where I've been helping our excellent law firm clients succeed since 2010. 

My passion for digital engagement, evidenced by the success of my legal blogs ‘WardBlawg' and ‘Five Fantastic Lawyers’ (formerly YouBlawg), has been a driving force in my career. Pioneering in the online legal space, I grew its monthly visitors to 20k+ (over 1 million to date) and built a social media following of 50k+.

This early foray into digital marketing post-qualification as a lawyer in 2010 was relatively unheard of at the time. Joining my boss Stephen Moore who was also a former lawyer turned legal sector entrepreneur who had already been there and achieved success with other online businesses sparked my dedication to helping law firms harness the internet for lead generation.

I'm committed to empowering the very best lawyers to expand their reach and enhance their online presence.

In my role as Projects Director, I help align client needs with strategic objectives to achieve specific commercial goals, with a focus on delivering exceptional results and maximising ROI for our clients, all through an increasing level of innovative use of AI in SEO, PPC, project management and lead management.

Away from work, I love spending time with my family, Lucy and Rory, and play tennis (erstwhile Captain of Team 8 at our local club), golf, piano and guitar. My dogs, Rodger and Rizzo, are also regulars at our office, enjoying meeting our team and clients.
