He leverages this knowledge to help clients optimise capital structures, raise debt financing and navigate challenging market conditions.

Greg began his career as an economist at two Big Four firms, later working at a bulge bracket bank within the debt structuring team. Following this, he moved to a multinational financial and risk advisory firm to set up the debt advisory team, working on a range of highly complex European transactions. He was then an integral part of the private equity debt advisory team at a Big Four firm, where he also led the venture debt service offering.
