How Luke is building a better working world

“I help to connect private capital to businesses and work with them to help drive long-term value for the organization and all its key stakeholders.

Private capital plays an important role in helping companies to achieve their full potential, creating jobs and catalyzing change in the communities in which they operate. Being a contributor to this great process keeps me passionate about what I do every day.”
