Co-founder and Portfolio Manager at Minotaur Capital, a global equities fund based in Sydney.
Before Minotaur, I spent 9 years at Perpetual (including 6 years running the Global Innovation Share Fund) and 11 years at PM Capital. I built Taurient, Minotaur's AI research system.

MINOTAUR CAPITAL
Minotaur Capital is a global equities fund I co-founded with Armina Rosenberg. We're long-term, fundamental investors — but we use AI to cast a wider net and move faster than traditional funds.
Our AI system Taurient scans thousands of news articles and filings daily, surfacing overlooked opportunities and generating research snapshots in minutes that would take an analyst days. The investment decisions remain ours.
The name comes from centaur chess — human intuition combined with machine processing power. Except we inverted the mythological creature: the Minotaur has the beast's head (AI) on a human body (experienced investors).

HISTORY
I've been writing code since I was a kid — dialling into BBSs in the early 90s, then running a multi-line BBS while at uni. Around 2001 I contributed to Shattered World, a text-based MUD that's been running since 1992. Later I built Dragon Tavern, a browser game that's still online. These days I work mostly in Python.
I wrote 105 editions of Thomas's Innovation Wrap, a weekly summary of technology and innovation news through the lens of a fund manager — covering AI, gene editing, renewables, semiconductors, space, cybersecurity, and more.
