Mr Paul Gardner

Business has been my life! I am a senior finance professional with over 30 years of experience in cross border finance and advisory work in both developed and emerging markets across the globe. I have a truly global perspective, having been privileged to have worked out of London, New York, San Francisco, Hong Kong and most recently Singapore. I have been involved with a wide variety of industries from oil and gas, to metals and mining, through telecommunications, data storage, shipping and aircraft. I have acted as a financial advisor for major blue chip companies across the globe executing financing mandates in countries as diverse as Saudi Arabia, Mongolia, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Slovakia, and Malaysia, along with Argentina, Brazil, China, Europe, the USA and Australia to name but a few. I come from a family of teachers and firmly believe learning is a life long journey. Teaching for me is about more than the process of imparting knowledge, it is about instilling a life long desire to learn. In my spare time I am an avid padel tennis player and a keen if high handicap golfer. I love the great outdoors and travel.
