I have held CEO, CFO, and CorpDev leadership roles in start-ups and large corporations, successfully closing over 50 transactions with over $13.5B in total enterprise value and raising $46M in venture capital for 3 start-ups.As the Managing Director at HawkEye Capital Partners, I advise owners on exits, acquisitions, roll-ups, and management buy-outs (MBOs), seeking strategic buyers or private equity (PE) groups using a faster, lower-risk process than traditional investment banks. As the President of Keiretsu Forum - North Texas, I oversee a chapter of a global investment community of accredited private equity investors, venture capitalists, and corporate/institutional investors, sourcing and evaluating high-quality, diverse investment opportunities across the world. I am a lifelong learner, strategic thinker, creative problem solver, and trusted C-Level adviser with a track record of supporting and executing critical decisions. I am articulate and persuasive, a savvy negotiator, a closer and relationship builder, an experienced leader of cross-functional teams, and able to orchestrate complex international transactions and integrate them seamlessly.
