Over the course of my life I’ve been fortunate to have been exposed to a wide variety of experiences and environments. My formative years in San Francisco, Honolulu, Tokyo and Hong Kong laid the groundwork for my career that follows.That career began (very briefly) as a professional golfer and evolved into one that encompassed both financial services business development and international business consulting. Humbly I can say I’ve achieved success in both spheres.Through 30+ years in business I’ve developed two key assets: First, a broad set of business skills acquired and honed in a diverse array of business endeavors. Second, strong and lasting relationships in both the financial services and global business communities.Among the key skills I bring to the table are:• A holistic understanding of the business formation and development process.• Extensive experience in the distribution of financial products (SMAs, Funds, CEFs, Structured Product, Alternatives, UITs) to the intermediary, retail and institutional markets.• The ability to synthesize complex concepts and make them broadly understandable.• In-depth knowledge of the financial and capital markets.• Proven ability at creating and developing impactful presentations.• Notable public speaking talent.• Consulting, coaching, mentoring and the ability to motivate.• A knack for quickly creating trust in business relationships.• The ability to harness a network of contacts with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working over the past three decades.
