I am an experienced dealmaker and corporate development professional. I have a true passion for driving sustainable growth through corporate innovation, corporate development, and business development. I have more than 20 years of varied strategy consulting, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), divestitures, B2B sales, project management, marketing, public relations, and stakeholder communication experience. I bring a valuable combination of *quantitative* (strategy, research, financial analysis, financial modelling, business planning, valuation, stochastic simulation), *business development* (marketing, sales, sales management), *creative* (editorial, branding, design, UX), and *commercial* (deal-making, restructuring, operations, negotiation, project leadership, due diligence, merger integration) expertise to projects and employers. These skills allow me to simplify and de-risk complex transactions, develop sell-side credibility, identify value, and unlock deal potential on the buy-side. I develop deal strategy, build and manage deal pipelines, manage stakeholders, and ensure the smooth operation of separations and post-merger integrations. I have a track record of providing irreproachable strategic council and developing visionary solutions that drive growth. I have above-par written and verbal communication skills, and wide-ranging project management and executive leadership experience. I am known as a direct communicator that can handle tough conversations with diplomacy, humility, and good humour, and for being easy to work with. I hold a B. Com (Marketing and Business Management) degree from Oxford Brookes University and hopes to complete my Executive MBA (Quantic) in 2021.
