I am highly efficient at underwriting, executing, and managing leveraged finance and direct lending transactions, including conducting hands-on due diligence, presenting to committees, obtaining credit approval, and closing deals. I have a strong ability to structure transactions, provide underwriting and proprietary sector insights to internal clients (with a focus on technology and communications) in the context of private equity and corporate buyouts and recapitalizations. I have a middle market focus and have worked on transactions ranging from $20MM of EBITDA to large-cap credits with $500MM of EBITDA. In addition, I excel at negotiating loan documents and finding a balance between meeting client needs and protecting the firm's commercial interests. I also have experience training and mentoring junior colleagues. After closing, I effectively manage and monitor a portfolio of loans.
