Most weekends are dedicated to my daughter and wife. We all love animals, so we often visit the London Zoo, the London Aquarium or local farms & parks.

We strive to build a culture of engagement, agility and innovation. Human Capital Management also focuses on attracting and retaining talented professionals. We understand that a firm’s personnel is its most valuable asset.
