The People Behind zephyriantra
We're a team of financial professionals who believe that understanding money shouldn't require a finance degree. Our backgrounds span investment banking, corporate strategy, and financial education—but what really drives us is making complex financial concepts accessible to everyone.
Built by Experience, Driven by Purpose
zephyriantra started in 2019 when two colleagues realized that most financial education was either too academic or too sales-focused. We wanted to create something different—a platform that teaches practical financial skills without the jargon or empty promises.
Caspian Thornfield
Co-Founder & Strategic Director
Previously spent eight years at Barclays Investment Bank, where he learned that the best financial strategies are often the simplest ones. Now focuses on translating institutional knowledge into practical guidance for individual investors.
Seraphina Caldwell
Co-Founder & Operations Director
Former corporate strategy consultant who specialized in financial restructuring. She brings a systematic approach to breaking down complex financial topics into manageable, actionable steps that actually make sense in real life.
Diverse Expertise, Shared Vision
Our team combines decades of experience across different areas of finance. But more importantly, we all share the same frustration with how financial education typically works—and the same commitment to doing it better.
Evander Blackwood
Senior Financial Analyst
Evander joined us from a quantitative trading firm where he spent five years building risk models. He has this rare ability to explain statistical concepts without making your eyes glaze over. His weekend hobby is collecting vintage calculators, which tells you everything you need to know about his attention to detail.
Developed our signature "Risk Reality Check" framework that helps people understand what they're actually risking versus what they think they're risking.
Cordelia Voss
Educational Content Director
Cordelia brings a background in educational psychology and fifteen years of experience teaching financial concepts to adults. She's the one who insists we test every piece of content with real people before we publish it—and she's usually right about what works and what doesn't.
Created our evidence-based learning methodology that focuses on practical application rather than theoretical knowledge—because knowing something and being able to use it are two very different things.
The Extended Team
Specialists & Contributors
We work with a network of independent specialists who contribute expertise in areas like tax optimization, property investment, and pension planning. They're not full-time team members, but they help us ensure our content covers the breadth of financial topics that matter to people's lives.
Our collaborative approach means you get insights from practitioners who work in these fields every day, not just theoretical knowledge from textbooks.
