Chief of Staff at Upstay | Investor & Operator | Private Markets | Real Estate
I spent 18 years on the front lines of global capital markets, managing institutional clients and risk worldwide. Privates or publics, it didn't matter. In all that was a small client...years later turned into a major family office. I then used all that experience to build. Currently architecting a small family office investment platform from scratch, founded and exited a real estate development firm, and have invested in over 30 startups. My work is sharpened by a deep background in diligence—I try to see what others miss. With a Master's from USC's Iovine and Young Academy, I try to apply a unique framework at the intersection of technology, business, and design. Works well for building and for investments. I am seeking my next build: a C-suite or role to be involved in a top-tier venture or investment firm.
