Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to lead various growth companies, both as an executive and as an entrepreneur, in global business as well as in the domestic market. My experience spans everything from company start-ups to mergers, acquisitions, and stock exchange listings.

In addition to technology companies, I have broadly led and coached service businesses, industrial operations, finance, and funding. My expertise covers all of a company’s main functions, and leveraging technology in business, along with leading finance and funding, are my core areas of expertise.

My goal is always to help the company succeed on its path toward even truly demanding targets while significantly growing owner value. I support company management fully — both personally and with strong substantive expertise and a broad network.

I cannot provide a calendar link, but if a client requests to book a meeting, you can direct them to my email and I will arrange a time separately.
