After graduating in 1995 with a Chemistry and Business degree I joined Allied Dunbar as a tied adviser. That initiation into financial services lasted 3 years by which time I had broken free to become an IFA. I spent the next 5 years at a large city brokerage focussing mainly on mortgages but also managing a small team.

I was born and bred in London of Greek descent. A true city girl, I married Darren, a country boy, in 2001. We have two children, Kyriakos 6 and Eliana 4.

I started Financial Weeks with Darren in 2004 because we wanted to set up a financial services company that focused purely on creating the ultimate client experience. I didn’t know it at the time but my vision of an “alternative way” had strong parallels to the Life Planning and Financial Planning movements that I am aware of today.

We focus on working with our clients to establish their life goals and actively coach them on the path to achieving those goals. We firmly believe that lifetime cashflow analysis coupled with a strong client relationship is the foundation of productive financial planning.

I am currently studying to be a Chartered Financial Planner and hope to achieve Certified Financial Planner and be a Kinder Registered Life Planner along the way.
