Through a broad set of experiences and roles ( I've been a lawyer, a company founder, an investor ( lead institutional/venture capital with solid returns, corporate venture and angel), and a corporate development/strategic partnership leader), I've developed expertise and judgment deploying related skills across sectors: New business co-creation/venture studio creation,) capital solutions (venture capital, growth capital, and private equity), strategic partnership/M&A decisioning and execution, and legal and corporate governance.
