Summary

I’ve been immersed in financial markets for over two decades — raising capital for hedge funds, investing in them, and supporting the launch of successful managers. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of working with exceptionally talented people, which shaped my views on process, discipline, and alignment of interests. Today, as Founder & CIO of Grand Cru Capital, I apply those lessons directly — compounding capital across asset classes with a focus on equities, alternatives, technology, thematic investing, and crypto. My approach combines patience, risk discipline, and a deep belief in the power of compounding. I also believe there is always more to learn. Markets constantly evolve, and I remain keen to keep learning from new ideas, people, and opportunities
