I am experienced in many aspects of venture capital and private equity, as well as the valuation, structuring, financing, and negotiating of M&A and alternative investment transactions. I have executed mergers and acquisitions for start-up companies and global conglomerates in a wide range of industries.Broad alternative assets experience: My experience in alternative investments extends to sourcing and evaluating venture capital and buyout managers, and executing secondary and direct transactions.

During my time there, my primary role was to manage the execution of deals, which included negotiating and drafting documents on deals that I led and supporting my colleagues on more heavily staffed projects. Later during my legal career, I worked as a prosecutor for the City of Los Angeles, where I honed my oral advocacy skills in front of judges and juries.Entrepreneur: I am an active participant and partner in a startup asset management firm, a private equity firm investing in South Asia, and a fund focused on investing in African-American films.
