01 / Profile
Geopolitics, read as markets.
I work at the intersection of geopolitics and capital markets. I structure deals, size markets, and turn political and regulatory risk into commercial strategy.
Results-driven aspiring professional with a proven record of commercial impact: lifted sales by 41% and overall revenue by 25% within three months as an Assistant Manager. Built a go-to-market strategy for a new energy market and analysed high-value M&A transactions during an M&A internship, and engaged Members of Parliament through structured outreach to advance policy advocacy. Currently delivers weekly insight reports to financial services clients. Seeking a Sales Development Representative role to qualify leads, build pipeline and partner with Account Executives to exceed KPIs.
At JSL Global Commodities, that meant diligence and valuation work on renewable-energy M&A and a go-to-market strategy for battery storage: cross-border, capital-intensive problems where the politics and the numbers can't be read apart.
