About

My story so far: I started my career in Audit, quickly realised it wasn’t for me, and set my sights firmly on breaking into M&A. I spent months trying (and failing) to make the jump - nothing was clicking. Eventually, I landed a role in FDD, but I didn’t feel qualified. I had to scramble to upskill, learn fast, and figure things out on the fly. Slowly, things started to click and my confidence grew, before moving into a senior M&A role at Ofload, where I went on to lead multiple 8-figure deals. After 6+ years in the industry, I’d built up the kind of experience that opened doors to a tonne of lead advisory opportunities, which I’m very luck to have access to today. So after pushing through the pain, confusion, and barriers of breaking into M&A - and eventually succeeding in it - I decided I wanted to help others make the same journey with far more clarity, support, and ease than I ever had. That’s why I built Prepped Talent; to help you break into M&A within 8 weeks, with tailored mentoring and education. Top 3 Highlights from the Prepped Talent Program: 1. The first in-person cohort I ran, 100% of candidates landed a role in M&A, 2. Helped 200+ professionals secure an M&A role, in the past 18 months, 3. Partnered with top M&A firms to place candidates from the Prepped Talent program For more details click “visit website” or if you want to get started right now: Message me “M&A” to get qualified for the Prepped Talent program.
