“Every decision I make is personal.
I'm backing founders I believe in, in a region I've chosen to call home for 15+ years.”
Founders are the ones who build. And alongside that, they need support, a sounding board, and occasionally a voice of reason. I've been there and done that, across many verticals and markets, so what I bring is the hands-on experience of operating companies.
Investment readiness doesn't stop at your first round, it is a path of growth you choose, and your numbers need to back that ambition. I help set the tracks for what comes next, and this is where 20+ years in finance comes in handy.
The founder needs a long-term view of where the business is going. Then advice and support can come in and help turning that vision into something real, and into value.
Completing the venture journey means finding the right home for your business. Here I draw not only on an M&A background built over almost as many years, but on the network and experience to structure deals the right way and to see them through.
