First off, thank you to all of our clients for a phenomenal 2021 and for all the well-wishes I received from so many in our industry after taking on Head of U.S. Fund Finance duties earlier this month. I'm very excited about this expanded role and just as excited for Sam Hutchinson, who takes on Head of UK Fund Finance duties. 

Hitting the year-end deadlines was hard. Your kind words eased that pain like a week's vacation on a remote island with no wifi. I have saved every single one of those emails, texts and LinkedIn messages and filed them away for a rainy day. We all need a pick me up now and again. The truth is that none of us would be here and have success without each other. I owe a great deal of gratitude to the 40+ clients that I had the pleasure of advising over the years and the many incredibly hard-working and talented colleagues that I have suited up with each and every week for the last 15 years. Thank you all.
