As a skilled leader in complex leveraged lending transactions, including syndications, private equity ownership, and multi-level capital structures, I excel at structuring deals through open-minded, creative thinking and a focus on balancing risk and reward. I have a strong track record of negotiating legal documentation with sophisticated clients and utilizing my excellent credit skills to author detailed and accurate analyses of middle-market relationships. I work proactively and diplomatically with both internal and external contacts to keep transactions moving, and I take ownership of my portfolio, demonstrating a sense of urgency and strong time management skills. In addition, I provide leadership to my team by mentoring less experienced members and embracing change. I am an effective communicator, capable of voicing my opinions clearly and defending them with management and key decision-makers at the client.Soft skills: communication, feedback, coaching, teamwork, respect, and consideration.‘If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.' -Benjamin FranklinMy recent transaction experience highlights include: -GBP 5 billion acquisition financing for investment-grade technology firm(1)-$13.3 billion acquisition-financing for crossover energy firm(1),(2)-Successfully executed amendment process for leveraged media company; transaction assisted company in avoiding bankruptcy-Multiple bridge financings aggregating more than $1.0 billion for a rapidly-expanding wireless provider-Acquisition bridge financings for entertainment content owner-Acquisition financing for a leading media company serving the outdoor enthusiast market(1)These transactions were cited by International Financing Review in awarding Barclays the "Loan House of the Year"​ award in 2011.(2) Kinder Morgan’s US$13.3bn loan was awarded "Loan of the Year" in 2012 by International Financing Review.FINRA Registered Representative with Series 7, and 63 Certifications.
