Alessandro Pontes

Founder & Principal Consultant

MSc and MBA in Finance, Investments & Economics (CFA & PhD Candidate)

With over 20 years of experience in international finance - spanning structured trade finance, risk management, and procurement strategies across the UK, US, EU, Asia, and Latin America - I work closely with clients to develop and implement strategies that are both practical and forward-looking. Throughout my career, I have supported large-scale trading operations, negotiated complex supply agreements, and led cross-functional teams to deliver measurable improvements, building a strong foundation in managing financial risk, interpreting market dynamics, and turning analysis into clear, actionable decisions. This experience enables me to collaborate effectively with clients, stay focused on their specific goals, and deliver solutions that support long-term resilience and growth.

Although our team members possess strong academic backgrounds and collectively bring over 100 years of professional experience, we operate solely in the capacity of consultants - not as regulated financial advisers. If you are seeking regulated financial advice, we recommend leaving this site and consulting a registered adviser through the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK or the appropriate regulatory authority in your country of residence.

Beyond financial solutions, we foster enduring partnerships rooted in trust, expertise, and shared growth.
