Current role: Senior Legal Consultant

Industry: Legal

Biography: I grew up in Toronto's Little Italy. I attended Harbord Collegiate Institute for secondary school then went on to study at York University (Hons BA Psychology), UofT (Specialist Political Science) and Cardiff University (Hons LLB). I moved from Canada to the England in 2006 to study at Cardiff. I am an English qualified solicitor and have worked in London-based firms as a corporate solicitor. In 2023, I moved my family (wife and two daughters) to Copenhagen, where we would be closer to my wife's family. I also started working for my current employer, Accura Advokatpartnerselskab in the Renewable Energy team, where I work on international deals in the green transition sector.

Why I mentor: Mentoring is important to me because I know how hard it can be to find success in our chosen paths. If I can help with someone's journey, it's a way of me paying it back to those who helped me. I have very little down time but when I do, I enjoy travelling and eating out - I also enjoy a great cup of coffee!
