What is something that colleagues and clients might not know about you?
Many people don’t know that I co-founded Stamford Rugby Club with my wife and a few close friends. We’ve grown it into a community program serving 135 kids, with scholarships for more than 20% of them, so no child is turned away. Coaching and supporting young athletes has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my life outside of work.
