Our People

Rockpool Partners was founded by three senior leaders whose careers span national security, institutional capital and technology arenas. Each brings distinct experience and perspective; together, they form a cohesive leadership group shaped by decades of operational responsibility and board-level accountability in complex, high-consequence environments.


Rockpool Partners is further strengthened by a selectively assembled network of additional experts, extending our capability across adjacent disciplines to support complex projects at scale. 


Our collective strength lies not only in individual authority, but in the alignment of complementary skills and trusted networks across government, allied markets and capital ecosystems. This depth enables disciplined judgement, translating context into decisive, executable outcomes.
