Her area of expertise lies in identifying commercial, commodity trading talent for hedge funds, investment banks, and liquidity providers.

I enjoy advising our clients on how to remain competitive in an ever-changing and dynamic talent landscape. The commodities sector is constantly evolving, shaped by market fluctuations, geopolitical developments, and technological advancements. Helping organizations navigate these complexities by identifying, attracting, and retaining top talent is a deeply rewarding aspect of my work.
