As a managing director in the advisory services practice at Messina Group, I work with private equity and middle market clients to crystalize strategy and value creation, implementing business-driven technology solutions. I hold over 30 years of experience across financial, technological, and operational domains. My background includes executive leadership, board oversight, M&A and banking, and business value acceleration consulting. As a certified exit planning advisor (CEPA) I deliver a structured approach and methodology aimed at de-risking and accelerating the velocity of exit events. In addition to exit readiness, I serve as a trusted advisor around M&A transaction deal flow including IT due diligence and post-close integration reporting. I also provide portfolio company business and IT optimization services to improve my client's value creation stage of ownership.
