- What I do -I help well-run companies increase their value for investors and position themselves for successful capital infusions and ownership transitions that satisfy both sellers and buyers long after the deal is closedMy core philosophy is that an Equity Story should reflect the company’s reality, with no disconnect to strategy and operations, serving as a driver of ongoing value enhancement rather than just reflecting it. - My Unique Value Proposition -Leveraging the synergies of my diverse background I uniquely bridge corporate finance, strategy, execution, and technology.By applying insights across ownership, management, and operations, I ensure full alignment between the equity story, strategic ambition, and daily operations.This integrated approach is key to crafting equity stories that don’t just reflect a company’s ambition but substantiate it, placing it at the core of driving value enhancement.By closing gaps and aligning narrative with operations, I help companies prepare for financial transactions, maximizing value and reducing risk- My professonial background -I have over 30 years of experience in Venture Capital (VC) and Private Equity (PE), including having served as CEO of mid-cap PE-backed companies, partner in a VC fund, and founder/CEO of a successful VC/PE backed tech company.
