Vice President, Corporate Development
CurrentAt Berkadia (a Berkshire Hathaway and Jefferies company), I spearhead corporate development initiatives, achieving impactful milestones across acquisitions, investments, and divestitures. I guided the acquisition of SaaS and ML/AI companies, oversaw strategic investments in construction and analytic tech companies and multiple VC funds, and managed the high-profile divestiture of Berkadia’s redIQ subsidiary. Partnering closely with Berkadia’s president and CFO, I delivered actionable financial analysis and insights to align corporate growth strategies with organizational objectives.💡 Key achievements include:✅ Identify 30+ acquisition targets annually, presenting eight+ top-priority opportunities to fuel strategic growth.✅ Strengthened global presence by forging partnerships with T-Hub (India) and Knight Frank (London), enhancing market insights and technology innovation.✅ Streamlined a $27B investment sales strategy, improving deal flow efficiency and increasing buyer engagement through targeted initiatives.✅ Established Berkadia’s “BeEngaged” startup accelerator, empowering ventures like Esusu to achieve a $1B valuation and secure $130M+ in funding.✅ Led seamless post-acquisition integration by crafting Berkadia’s PMI playbook, ensuring successful transitions and operational excellence.Additionally, I championed regulatory compliance and renter-friendly policy initiatives by collaborating with FHFA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac and actively contributing to NMHC’s steering committee for RETTC.🔑 #CorporateDevelopment #MergersAndAcquisitions #InvestmentStrategies
