BUILDING BETTER TOGETHER

Perspective
with purpose.

Vice President, Investments

Responsible for executing investment opportunities, and working closely with external partners and the broader Unity team to Build Better Together.

Most recently an investor on the Global Equities Team at Ruffer LLP; previously an Associate at Boston Consulting Group. MBA from The Wharton School, with honors; M.Eng. and B.A. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Oxford (Magdalen College), first-class honors. CFA charterholder. Where I spent my childhood / talk through map of cities you’ve lived in I grew up in Venice (Italy), the uniqueness of which I didn’t fully appreciate until I left. I moved to London (UK) at the age of 16 to finish school and then to Oxford (UK) to study for my undergraduate degree. After graduation, I lived in Milan (briefly) and again in London for six years. The first US city I lived in was Philadelphia, where I moved to pursue my MBA. My favorite book “But How Do It Know?” By J Clark Scott. This book, to me, epitomizes the principle of “everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler”, which I strive to live by.

BEYOND THE BIOGRAPHY

The person
behind the work.

Fun fact about me

I have a black belt in karate! (Shotokan)

Where you’ll find me on a Saturday morning

Playing golf, tennis or squash – always trying to get a little better.

Family matters

Family is really important to me. I have two brothers and a twin sister and we were all born within 2.5 years – we are very close, not just in age! Now that we are scattered all over the world we try to spend most holidays together. Bryan W.
