Summary
As the Managing Partner of Point-of-Reference, LLC, I have over 30 years of experience in venture management, corporate finance, and turnaround consulting. I lead expert teams that are custom-formed to help new and existing businesses succeed in various industries, markets, sciences, and disciplines. I am a master networker and company builder who connects with a wide range of stakeholders, from investors and regulators to clients and collaborators. I have completed classic start-ups, corporate turnarounds, and a management buyout of a division of Lucent Technologies. I have also co-founded and built a private telecommunications network that linked Wall Street to Europe via London, and a retail consumer installment financing company in partnership with John Deere Credit and PaineWebber. My passion is to create organizations that people want to work for and invest in, and to improve Colorado's economy through civic engagement and thought leadership.
