About
I didn’t take the traditional path—no elite degree, no institutional grooming.
​
But I’ve been hired by tier-1 consultancies, Big 4 banks, Big 4 tax firms, and institutional investment desks—before holding any degree.
​
Today, my work is followed by professionals who directly manage or influence over $28.5 trillion in capital—nearly 25% of global AUM. (BCG, PwC, McKinsey) 6% of all global financial assets (SIFMA, Credit Suisse Global, BIS) and 5% of total global wealth (Credit Suisse)
​
That includes Global Heads, PMs, and Directors at Fidelity ($5.9T), JPMorgan ($3.1T), PIMCO, Citi, HSBC, BNP, Credit Suisse, Aviva, State Street, GAM, and UOB, as well as sovereign funds like ADIA, PIF, CIC, QIA, GIC, Temasek, GPIF, NPS, and others across Africa, MENA, and Asia.

My Story
Most thought leaders simulate crisis through models.
I’ve lived inside them—and extracted operating leverage from the experience.
Expulsion. Addiction. Incarceration.
These were not deviations.
They were embedded field environments—high-friction systems where I learned to parse incentives, decode failure points, and map human consequences with surgical clarity.
While others optimized for credentials, I reverse-engineered societal architecture from inside its collapse.
The result isn’t resilience. It’s systems intelligence.
I wasn’t designed for comfort.
My nervous system is tuned to high-variance environments.
Where others see chaos, I see signal emergence before it stabilizes in narrative or price.
Call it instability.
I call it a pre-consensus diagnostic system—battle-tested in volatility and capable of decoding the mechanics of dysfunction in policy, markets, or human behavior before it becomes legible to institutions.
​​
The Numbers Don’t Lie.
Today, my insights shape the thinking of professionals who control or influence over $28.5 trillion in capital.
That’s nearly 25% of global AUM, and 5% of total global wealth—with only ~1,500 followers.
That’s ~$19B in capital influence per follower.
Let’s be clear:
Most “finance influencers” operate at $1M–$10M per follower, retail-heavy and signal-light.
Even elite macro voices rarely break $200M–$500M per follower.
Causality Partners operates at 1,900x more capital leverage per follower than the average—and 40–100x denser than the top 0.01%.
​
Most thought leaders aspire to reach these desks.
I’m already shaping how they see the world.​​​
Why?
Because I see what their models miss.
Where they see broken systems, I see control loops.
Where they see volatility, I see engineered asymmetry.
Where they seek forecasts, I surface causality.
​
What I Believe
The system is broken. I’m living proof.
I could’ve died in a gutter—
Instead, I help capital allocators see the future before it hits the front page.
I value growth, justice, and truth, even when it hurts.
I believe in building systems that actually serve people—not just perpetuate inertia.
This isn’t a redemption arc.
It’s a war for clarity in a fog of institutional delusion.
And I’m just getting started.
​
​
We are not in a cycle.
We are in a structural inversion of the global order.
Capital need more consensus.
It needs new lenses
Systems-thinkers trained by lived entropy—
fluent in breakdowns, decoding incentives, and capable of asymmetric signal recognition capacity.
That’s what I offer.
And that’s what I’ve built.
Causality Partners exists to equip capital with foresight before feedback loops close.
Not for prediction.
For relevance.
