I have over 20 years of corporate finance and capital market experience across multiple industries from early-stage to large-cap multinational companies. I have completed numerous finance, acquisition, private equity and capital market transactions valued in excess of $2.2 billion, including sourcing and closing multiple private placements with institutional and accredited investors.
Prior to developing my career in corporate finance, I spent eight years in business development where I gained invaluable training and experience in negotiation and customer service.
In addition to having strong presentation and communication skills, I have excellent business development skills that provide me the tools to build, manage and sustain relationships with stakeholders, at all levels. I am highly organized with strong analytical skills. I am driven to complete tasks and obtain desired results within strict deadlines, with accuracy and attention to detail.
My most coveted role, where I had the greatest alignment to my strengths and provided exceptional value to my employer, was when I served as head of acquisitions for Parkbridge Lifestyle Communities. This role allowed me to combine my sales, business development and corporate finance experience. I played a pivotal role in helping the company grow from $546M to $1.6B in assets within six years.
Throughout my career, my value has been helping companies grow their business.
I describe myself as a Growth Driver, and I have three pillars that are my foundation to drive growth.
a. Relationship Cultivator - I find a way to connect with people, to establish and cultivate relationships with trust and sincerity. I use these strengths to develop new business opportunities.
b. Transaction Architect - By leveraging my relationships with capital providers, as well as my knowledge and experience gained from completing numerous corporate finance transactions and acquisitions, I will ensure growth initiatives are appropriately funded.
c. Results Driver - I am driven to achieve results. I treat every transaction as if I was using my own money and there must be a financial or economic benefit achieved from each transaction.
I am confident that my education, work experience and impeccable ethics will allow me to make an immediate and positive impact to any organization.
