With 20+ years of experience in senior financial leadership roles within public companies, private equity backed businesses, private equity and investment banking, I have acquired over 30 businesses, advised on over $6 billion in M&A transactions, raised over $13 billion in capital, and lead managed several initial public offerings.As Chief Financial Officer of a private equity backed company, I strengthened financial reporting practices, implemented key performance indicators, enhanced administrative controls, secured substantial cost reductions with key vendors, and negotiated a pending lawsuit to a small fraction of potential exposure. The Board then tasked me with assuming operational leadership to accelerate a turn-around effort. By decisively pivoting the company into new business lines and making swift cuts and reinvestments, we increased profitability and laid the foundation for the sale of the business.As Head of Mergers & Acquisitions of two NYSE Listed public companies and a $1B+ privately held business, I was responsible for leading substantial inorganic growth strategies. This included global expansion initiatives across all continents, entry into new industry sectors, vertical integration that captured additional value chain profits, and major divestitures. These efforts resulted in several billion of increased revenue, improved operating margins, increased company market value, and positive reception by Wall Street.As an investment banker, I financed and provided M&A support to several prominent high growth, public company consolidation roll-ups; and as Head of M&A for a Fortune 500 roll-up, I executed over 22 transactions in 3.5 years that added several billion in revenue.► AREAS OF EXPERTISEMergers & Acquisitions ♦ Capital Markets ♦ Strategy ♦ Corporate Development ♦ Due Diligence ♦ Financial Planning & Analysis ♦ Private Equity-Backed Firms ♦ Bank Relationships ♦ Consolidation ♦ Roll-Ups ♦ Initial Public Offerings
