Daniel Cordell
Daniel joined HC Group in 2007 and he is the Managing Director for HC Group's European Energy practice.
Daniel’s areas of expertise covers gas and power trading and also capital markets, origination and investments across the energy and natural resources sector. He worked in the Houston office for a brief period before returning to the UK to help launch its European debt and equity practice. Daniel also launched the company’s inaugural investment club breakfast, which brought industry peers together to discuss the state of the market and explore investment opportunities within the energy and natural resources space.
I am passionate about the pivotal role capital markets play in the trade and delivery of commodity goods around the globe.
