My Job

My Experience
My career has been in consultancy and more specifically consultancy in financial services. I started off in Brussels in a small specialized consultancy, then moved to an international consultancy before starting Afore Consulting in 2007. I studied politics, history and economics at university before training as a merchant banker with ABN Amro in Hamburg which gave me a solid foundation for life in consultancy.

My Interests outside work
A recent and growing interest is gardening along with reading and connecting with family and friends. I enjoy visiting galleries and exhibitions whenever I can.
As a keen history enthusiast, I am also a member of the British Museum and very much enjoy popping in whenever I have the time when I am in London.
My Favourite Brussels anecdote
In our job we get to walk the corridors of Brussels. Over the years we have met with many individuals and larger than life characters who have been committed to shaping Europe and have been gracious with their time and efforts. To all of them, too many to mention individually, we are greatly indebted.
