When not in the office, I enjoy playing football and golf, and spending quality time with my wife and two girls.
My role at Harkalm involves structuring finance for the group as a whole and individual investments, to maximise the returns available.
My leisure time is taken up with my family, Italian, bridge and gym - strictly in that order.
