Lee started his finance career back in the late 1990’s, working as a consultant for top ten London law firms such as McKenna & Co, Nabarro Nathanson and Linklaiters. Lee then consulted at boutique investment firm Mansford Holdings where he gained an insight into the investment world and discovered exciting investment strategies that got him interested in portfolio investments and acquisitions.
Lee did his first merger in 2014 and then went on to start BID Assets, an investment company for businesses operating below potential and acquired 9 companies from 2015 to Nov 2017.
In 2018 Lee formed Verdani Investments which is an investment company that acquires established UK businesses with a buy and build strategy. Lee has been featured on BBC Radio and Sky News, providing business commentary as an industry expert and currently lives in London, England.
