Questions?

You can start chatting with James before you get started.

Great to meet you. I have worked in Investment Banking for five years at both J.P. Morgan and, most recently, Centerview Partners in London. Having advised on a variety of M&A, equity and debt deals of all size and across sectors, including Healthcare, Consumer Retail & Business Services, and now moving into a new role outside of finance, I am well placed to help you break into investment banking. I am happy to chat prior to booking a session to discuss your goals and how I can help. We can cover all aspects of the process from application planning to the resume and cover letter, to interviews (both motivational and technical) and assessment centers, as well as financial modelling tests and networking (leveraging my substantial network).
