As a passionate, results-oriented executive I have led performance-driven teams and built internal culture that values integrity above profit. I aspire to inspire others to get out of their comfort zones and challenge themselves. I treat people with honesty and integrity. I like to think I find unpolished talent in people and push them to realize their potential.Because of my background, I often can quickly assess a business from the ground up, understand what’s broken and where opportunities are, and then create a strategic plan to commercialize products and turn around operations.I love my work when I have built a high functioning team that can operate on a day-to-day basis without me hovering over them, and when my primary responsibilities are to cast vision, hold people accountable to clear expectations and am on the hunt for the next transformational deal. In start-ups, I love the product development and prelaunch planning cycles, where leadership must be both creative and strategic.SELECT CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:► Closed over $2.5B in enterprise value of middle-market and lower middle market M&A transactions.► Raised over $500M in private debt offerings.► Raised over $160M in private equity funds.► Managed over $125M in public bond offerings and closed over $25M in private investments in public entities (PIPES).SPECIALTIES: • Developing and executing a strategic value creation plan• Corporate finance and performance management principles• Creating longer-term business development initiatives to build new markets and new offerings• Building brands and developing brand equity
