Investor in the public and private markets. Ethically driven, critical and strategic thinking business expansion consultant. Looking for $1M-50M businesses that are motivated to grow, partner, or exit. Served as a Senior Vice President at some of Wall Street's most prestigious firms and spent my career in leadership roles evaluating complex investment opportunities and presenting them in understandable terms. I invest my time and resources seeking out independent, fee only unbiased sources to stay ahead of trends and help formulate my opinions. I team with a network of marketing, public relations, advertising and branding specialists to achieve my clients desired results. Regularly attend national investment and trade conferences, networking with analysts, C-suite executives and business owners. Advise individuals and businesses in a variety of industries on strategic direction, finances, growth, perspective, messaging, and preparing to exit for maximum results. Successfully use my clear understanding of incentives, conflicts, and context to uncover timely opportunities. I leveraged my Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from UCLA into a life-long study of social-psychology and behavioral economics and apply that knowledge of the human element to my passion for business and the financial markets. Master’s Degree in Strategic Communications from Columbia University, focusing on the intersection of business strategy and communications – including elements of branding, advertising, marketing, and public relations. As a non-profit board member working with teams of professionals, I have served a variety of organizations including U.S. presidential candidate finance committees, homeowners associations, University of Washington fraternity housing trustee and student mentor. I have taken the lead in improving and managing these organizations by identifying overlooked problem areas and inefficiencies, creatively and constructively re-directing group think, and offering pragmatic solutions. I have worked with professional and legal teams to help negotiate contracts from construction to labor. I love teaching and sharing my knowledge. I'm a dedicated fitness and nutrition advocate, and a multi-dimensional lifelong student and educator with a curious mind. I have two daughters who were accomplished athletes recruited by national championship teams at Stanford University.
