Fintech investor | business builder | advisor

Business builder by experience, financier by training, and strategic thinker with an owner/investor mindset by nature, I am a seasoned finance professional with significant depth in both strategy and operations, and cross functional leadership expertise. Experienced across investment banking (mergers and acquisitions, debt and equity), operational restructuring, and growing and scaling businesses in the US and emerging markets. Extensive operational skills, from managing product launches (fintech) and growth to overseeing corporate liquidation and managing daily cash flow. Versatile with proven results in large corporations and startup/entrepreneurial environments. Equally comfortable driving company strategy, partnering with senior executives and boards, leading a sales engagement, building complex financial models, training customer experience teams, or solving customer problems. Passionate about making teams work better, improving processes and operations, growing companies, and getting it done. Wide ranging industry experience spanning technology, media, consumer retail, education, and fintech/education finance. Highly creative: artist (painter) and business leader. Entrepreneurship mentor to people with incarcerated histories (in-prison and upon release).
