While studying at the International Management Institute of Paris (IMIP) I made it a point to gather a maximum of professional experience via internship. My first exposure to the world of business was in early stage private equity investment with the Pasadena Angels. Subsequently one of their members recommended me to MediaDefender, Inc. where I became a business development manager and European development contact. I have always evolved in the world of startups and have little corporate experience. Then I was trained in early stage venture financing while working at Stonnington Investment. After getting involved with several non-profits operating in Cambodia I decided to create a non-profit, Coalition for Financial Independence, Inc. (CFI) which would provide the same chances of financing to rural and urban entrepreneurs in this southeast Asian Transitional Economy (SEATE). My goal is therefore to stand for the equality of chances amongst entrepreneurs and provide them with financing sources as well as business counsel and guidance; a methodology similar to that of Angels and Venture Capitalists whose practices I am familiar with.Specialties: Early stage venture financing, business plan and financial analysis, management, operations
