I love to create opportunities and take concepts from an idea to fruition by motiving partners, team members, investors and customers to rally behind an idea/cause/purpose. I am a natural problem solver and look at situations from a different point of view based on my unique perspective that combines leadership, entrepreneurship and financial acumen. I am a highly experienced Chief Executive Officer/board member with operational expertise in the finance, real estate, lending, telecom, food & beverage industries, ag tech, venture capital, & asset management. I have built companies through various economic cycles, grew an investment management business from $15mm to over $10bn in assets under management, launched, lead and grew a leading national frozen-novelty CPG brand and have been a key advisor to a $2.5bn asset management firm focusing on venture capital and credit. I am always interested in meeting great people and a good challenge!
