Summary

After 25 years in the semiconductor industry, I’ve turned my attention to helping entrepreneurs fund their businesses, whether they’re startups, public companies, or somewhere in between.

After years perfecting my trade, I’m a confident, persuasive negotiator who adds immediate value to leadership teams. In 2024, we had one of our healthcare companies meet with US President Joe Biden in California. I’ve set up operations in Europe and India, and worked with multi-billion-dollar companies and have interacted with NASA, United Nations (UN) and Stanford University’s Ideal Village. I formed a joint venture partnership with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and have delivered semiconductor manufacturing technology to Seiko/Oki in Japan and SG-Thompson in France. Currently, I’m working with few companies in power/energy, agriculture, water, security, hydrogen, clean/green power, solar/wind, etc., and have informed the UN that we will be glad to set up their innovation labs in Silicon Valley, California. I have an inquisitive, resourceful mind, dependable, honest, and hard-working, and incredibly focused on the success of my clients.
