The most important thing is not how good the business plan is, it’s how compelling and credible the people behind it are.”

Building on his own experience in banking and as business advisor, Hugo is also Managing Director at iSportconnect Capital, a new network that provides investment opportunities within the sport and leisure sector. Within these roles, he has come to appreciate the importance of building the right relationships, through networking and work experience.

“There are countless opportunities in finance. It is important to gain experience working for different firms and companies, testing the water in different sectors.” And from these experiences, Hugo believes one can gain valuable insights. “This is how you come to understand the mindset of an investor.”

Taking the opportunity to address BSBI students, Hugo shared precious personal advice that would help them in their professional and personal development. “Get advice from people you respect, from any sector and any kind, as long as you value what they say to you. And don’t be afraid of failure.”
