I help companies understand the commodity markets, manage their exposure and mitigate risks. I started my career in commodities as part of the future talent scheme at Trafigura, rotating through the key trade support functions; logistics, trade finance and risk management. Since then I have been helping Anglo American build up their commodity trading capability as part of the Energy Solutions team.

What I offer

Commodity Support

Everyone is exposed to commodity markets, however indirectly. Yet the industry remains hidden until things go wrong. I can help companies understand their exposure and how to mitigate their risks.
