I've always been fascinated by the interconnectedness of transportation systems and the challenge of optimizing for their fragile equilibriums. This passion has led to a career financing, leasing, buying, owning, operating, and selling transportation assets in various capacities.Thoughtful capital allocation can capitalize on the transportation sector's inherent volatility to generate positive returns in the near term while also helping to lay a more stable foundation for the industry to mature over the long term. The requisite investment in new technology, designs, and fuels to future-proof the global movement of goods and people cannot be dependent on the industry's traditional boom-bust cycles but instead needs business models that are more predictable and attractive to a wider array of investors. I'm currently advising on, investing in, and launching projects in the maritime sector that align with this vision.
