Who I work with

My clients include Private Equity team members from partners and managing directors to analysts, as well as VPs of Corporate Development and CFOs of Corporate Strategics. I advise clients on both buy-side and sell-side due diligence and post-merger integration on deals in the $2m- $500m range.

My specialty

I am fanatical about helping clients find deal-breakers, manage transaction risks and maximize return on investment. My industry experience includes manufacturing, distribution, consumer products, software, retail and professional services.

Call me a nerd, but I enjoy calculating EBITDA and evaluating quality of earnings to support transaction analysis and purchase price negotiations. My specialties also include pre-and post-close working capital considerations, quality of net assets analysis and divisional carve-out considerations.

I help clients overcome challenges, the most common of which include:

  • Scaling diligence to deal size to control cost
  • Providing cost-effective QoE and WC analysis in a tight timeline
  • Planning and executing transactions to maximize value
