Lisa has worked in a number of cities across Asia, including Singapore, Mumbai and Shanghai, for the last seven years. She has built strong and long-lasting relationships with leading investors including sovereign wealth funds, family offices, pension funds, endowments and foundations.  

Jeremy Ghose, Managing Partner and 3iDM CEO commented: “Lisa’s appointment is an important step in realising our ambitions to build a global credit platform and client coverage model. Our expanded business will ultimately strengthen our investment offering and provide Asian investors with access to the European and US private debt space. We are pleased to have her join the team.”
