I joined Barings because as well as being an extremely successful player in the private credit market, it has a reputation for having a great sense of team culture that encourages people to share their ideas.

This is extremely important to me as I believe that when we encourage diversity of thought and opinions, we make better investment decisions.

I co-founded Out & Allies—the firm’s LGBTQ+ ERG—as I wanted to help foster an environment that allows everyone to bring their authentic selves to work and I also saw an opportunity for us to connect in new ways with our clients.
