About Me

I am a Director at Pinnacle Investments and a three-time author on residential investment.

Pinnacle invests across UK living sectors, including Build to Rent and Affordable Housing. We’re part of Hyde, the UK’s third largest Housing Association. My role is to connect institutional investors with opportunities that can help deliver more – and better – homes.

Over my career, I’ve worked on 300+ property transactions, launched a residential investment fund, and advised senior leaders at Deloitte and Knight Frank on strategy, capital and sustainability.

Alongside investing, I love building platforms that help move the sector forward. I host The Return: Property & Investment Podcast (my podcasts have had 350,000+ downloads – including recent partnerships with Lloyds and Invesco), and co-founded LAYA (Lead As You Are), a leadership initiative aiming to support 1,000 women in and into senior real estate investment roles by 2030.

I also chair the Cambridge University Land Society’s Residential Forum, write regularly for publications like the FT and Telegraph and have given a TedX talk on sustainable property investment.

I’ve been recognised for my work in real estate and leadership as one of Management Today’s 35 Women Under 35, Bisnow’s Women Leading Real Estate, and as Property Week’s Next Generation Leader and Innovator of the Year.

My mission is to help mobilise capital to deliver more housing, while supporting a stronger and more diverse generation of industry leaders.

What Others Say

Strategic Property Investing

“★★★★★ – Well-written, informative and insightful.”

For more than 20 years, UK residential property has been seen as one of the best investments available. The trouble is, the market has changed. Strategies that worked before are now less profitable, if profitable at all.

To succeed in this fast-changing, uncertain context, investors must understand what’s changed, and what works now. But in an age of ‘information overload’, it can be hard to cut through the noise.

This book was first published in April 2020 and achieved Amazon ‘Bestseller’ status in Real Estate and Investing.

University of Oxford Professor Andrew Baum described it as:

“timely, clear and concise advice which will help you to avoid the mistakes that many of us make in residential property investment.”

Building a Legacy

“★★★★★ – A superb book that has given me the confidence to make smart decisions about my finances and investments going forward. Highly recommended!”

People from all walks of life feel they can and should invest in UK residential property. The trouble is, there’s a lot of bad advice out there.

This book is a practical guide to building a legacy through UK property investing. If you know you want to grow a profitable, socially conscious portfolio that you feel proud to own and hand down to the next generation, it is for you.

Its simple methodology, tips and case studies are designed to help you to avoid expensive mistakes, improve your results and accelerate your progress.

“★★★★★ – A simple, jargon-free read for anyone looking to invest in property. The authors get straight to the point, provide excellent case studies and leave you feeling empowered to achieve your goals.”

Sustainable Residential Investing

“The timing is now to change our mindset and this book sets out how we can make this a reality.” – Amanda Clack, CBRE, UK

The investors of the future value sustainability more than ever before. There is unprecedented and growing demand for Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) investing, now worth $30 trillion in Assets Under Management each year, around a quarter of all professionally managed assets.

The traditional goal of profit maximisation is being replaced. Investments must increasingly be profitable as well as sustainable: economically resilient with positive ESG metrics. Yet the UK residential property market – worth over £7.5 trillion – is lagging behind. This book seeks to help change that.

Available at all good book stores, including Waterstones, WH Smiths and Amazon.
