I have had extensive professional experience as an executive, investment banker and corporate lawyer in New York City. I have broad experience in general corporate, business and financial matters. Beginning in the summer of 2003, I was employed by BMO Capital Markets, the investment banking arm of the Bank or Montreal, where I served as Co-Head of US Investment and Corporate Banking until April 2010. In addition to my ability to manage a business, I have had extensive transactional experience as an investment banker and lawyer, including mergers & acquisitions, corporate finance (debt and equity), restructurings and securities matters.Prior to joining BMO Capital Markets, I was a Senior Managing Director from 1993-2003 at Gerard Klauer Mattison, an institutional brokerage firm which was acquired by Bank of Montreal in July of 2003. I was previously a partner at the law firm of Dorsey & Whitney, Senior Vice President & General Counsel of The Fairchild Corporation, and an associate at Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison.Specialties: 18 years as an investment banker13 years as a corporate and securities lawyer
