I’ve spent most of my career in investment banking, institutional trading and business development. Working closely with companies, institutional investors, and management teams on things like capital raises, M&A, and strategic growth initiatives. A big part of what I do is building lasting relationships, spotting opportunities early, and helping connect the right people to get deals done.
