Mastering capital markets isn’t about chasing the biggest deals, but about building the systems, relationships, and discipline that make those deals possible. From structuring $10 billion in debt, I’ve learned that credibility matters more than polish, strong lender relationships outlast any term sheet, and flexibility often outweighs price. Technology and process are no longer optional—they’re essential to scaling efficiently—and discipline in both growth and de-leveraging is what preserves trust when conditions shift. For executives and finance leaders, the true competitive advantage lies not just in raising capital, but in creating the foundation for sustainable growth.

I’m excited to share a comprehensive view of my professional journey in corporate finance and investment management. With over 20 years of experience across industries including entertainment, hospitality, power utilities, and more, I’ve been fortunate to contribute to companies in both growth and restructuring phases. My focus has always been on delivering value through sound strategy, deep analysis, and strong collaboration. Here is my biography.
