Sergeant then joined the investment banking sector in order to acquire an inside view of how overall capital markets really worked.

He crossed into corporate finance and dealmaking, mainly in natural resources, and worked extensively in the field in West Africa, South America, North America, Australia, Britain and Europe. Turning his newly acquired investment banking knowledge to account, Sergeant quit the industry ahead of the biggest global bloodbath in market history, and finally returned to his first choice of occupation.
