With experience in delivering new products, market expansions, creating solutions, cost optimization, operating models, transactions, strategy, and corporate initiatives, I have achieved nearly a billion dollars in revenue growth, cost savings, and operational improvements for my clients and supported over $37 billion in M&A transactions. I've been involved in a number of startup ventures either as investor, advisor, or co-owner.
