- Born and raised in the South East to an English mother and a Sri Lankan father.
- Aspiration: the first of my family to graduate with a BSc from University College London, followed by an MA and Graduate Diploma in Law; I have volunteered to help talented young people do well as a mentor and school governor among other things.
- I know how Government works: having worked at HM Treasury on the banking interventions during the financial crisis.
- Financial and regulatory expertise: formerly an Executive Director at JPMorgan; now at the City law firm Macfarlanes advising financial services and investment companies.
- Media spokesman: frequently quoted in and write for the press on economic and environmental matters; you can see some of my commentary in the FT, Investment Week, Net Zero Investor and elsewhere on my news page.
- Experienced leading campaigns as a candidate: I came second in Lewisham Deptford in the 2019 General Election and have stood for council both in and outside London.
- Family: most important to me are Eliza, my wife, and Teddy, my son.
My politics derives from my life and the values of aspiration, patriotism and family.
I aim to combine real expertise with empathy, based on my background and experience with people of all types.
