I have 25 years of experience in the financial services industry and have the knowledge and experience that you need to be confident that you are provided with long-term and bespoke solutions through face-to-face wealth management advice.

My expertise covers the broad spectrum of financial planning and will help you, your family and your business to:

• Grow wealth, specifically through St. James's Place's distinctive approach to investment management
• Preserve assets for long-term financial security
• Adequately protect assets from potential threats
• Effectively manage capital and borrowings

Prior to Wealth Management, I was an Investor Relations and Financial Communications professional. I have worked with leading global communications firms as well as international investment management organisations.

I have a Degree in Foreign Modern Languages, Literatures, History of Eastern Europe and Russian Financial Planning (Hons) from the University La Sapienza of Rome, Italy. I also completed an Omnicom Advanced Management Program in Babson, USA in 2009. I have an Advanced Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning, the Personal Finance Society and the Chartered Insurance Institute.

I lived and worked in Rome, New York, Moscow and London. I speak Italian, English, Russian and I have a good understanding of French and Spanish.

Along my professional career I also developed my passion for sports such as cycling and Ashtanga Mysore-style. I love my family, travelling, reading and writing. My book "Il primo piano quinquennale Sovietico nella testimonianza dei diplomatici Italiani" (The First Soviet Five-Year Plan According to Testimonials of Italian Diplomats) was published in 1997 by Edizioni Periferia, Italy.

The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested.
