A Track Record
Built on the Ground

"I don't just broker deals — I've walked the mines, met the license holders, and seen what real commodity trading looks like at ground level."

My career began in international banking and high-level enterprise sales, culminating in a pivotal role as Regional Lead for Revolut across Cyprus and Greece — building financial partnerships at the highest level.

That background in structured finance, counterparty due diligence, and large-scale deal negotiation became the foundation for my transition into commodities. Over the past 4+ years, I have been deeply embedded in the minerals and fuels sector — not from behind a desk, but on the ground across Zambia, the DRC, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, and Ghana.

Today, Mythos Minerals is my full-time commitment: the on-the-ground partner for serious investors entering Africa across mining, real estate, and agriculture — people who require verified counterparties, compliant documentation, real due diligence, and a principal who picks up the phone.
