The Trusted Advisor

$500M+ advised in Pre-IPO secondaries.
$200M+ deployed in lower middle market buyouts.
40%+ IRR on all portfolio exits.

I sit at the intersection of two markets:

1. Pre-IPO Secondaries
Late-stage private companies where employees and early investors need liquidity before an IPO or exit. I've advised on $500M+ in these transactions, connecting sellers with institutional buyers.

2. Operator-Led Buyouts
$10 trillion in business ownership is transferring this decade. Most lack the scale for traditional PE but represent exceptional opportunities for the right operator with the right capital. I back executives with 10-20 years of P&L experience to acquire and professionalize these businesses.

How I work:

↳ I start with the operator, not the deal
↳ Proprietary sourcing. Preferred economics. Aligned incentives.
↳ Institutional governance without control friction
↳ All exits structured for one outcome: operators succeed when investors succeed

Who should reach out:

→ Operators: Ready to transition from management to ownership
→ Family Offices / HNWIs: Seeking access to institutional-quality deals PE ignores
→ Pre-IPO Shareholders: Looking for liquidity before an exit event
→ Business Owners: Evaluating succession and want to understand what serious buyers see
