My professional career includes various senior positions in the Ministry of Finance, Grenada; Republic Finance and Merchant Bank Limited (FINCOR) of Trinidad, and Caribbean Financial Services Corporation (CFSC) in Barbados. In these roles I often delivered keynote speaker presentations at several financial services consultancy and training events.
Prior to joining the regional stock exchange ECSE, I gained significant investment banking and corporate financing know-how while working several years as an ECSM broker-dealer, financial consultancy services provider, merchant banker, and a developer in the capital and financial services markets in Barbados. These engagements included assignments and consultancies in financial modeling and capital markets deal structuring, project financing, business development, company & asset valuation, investment advice, wealth management, taxation and estate planning and keynote speaker presentations for deal making.
Along with other financial consultancy services providers and facilitators, I am a 13-year member of the faculty of tutor-facilitators in the Eastern Caribbean Securities Market’s Certification Programme Workshop and Examination for the licensing of intermediaries. Graduates become practitioners in securities dealing, stock trading and wealth management.
I produce workshops and deliver keynote speaker addresses on various topics, including Working Capital funding and management; Personal Finance; Retirement Planning; Time Management.
And, I give talks to Boards of Directors on topics such as Insider Trading, Stock valuation, Deal structuring. Participants at such events occasionally seem us out for personal financial coaching and retirement planning support.
