I’m Tom, a Kenyan-British dual citizen, born in Kenya and shaped by international experiences. I have a strong interest in finance, technology, and sustainability, and I’m always looking to deepen my understanding of how they intersect.
I enjoy tackling complex problems—whether it was leading as house and sports captain, earning an art scholarship, or working on projects like building trading algorithms. These experiences have helped me develop a structured approach to problem-solving and a curiosity for finding practical solutions.
Outside of work, I spend my time playing chess, on the tennis court, fishing, or travelling.
