Gene’s AI for Finance Qualifications

Experience level: Associate

PE investor and former investment banking professional specializing in B2B SaaS and software M&A, with hands-on experience applying AI tools across financial modeling, deal analysis, and research workflows. IPE investor and former investment banking professional specializing in B2B SaaS and software M&A, with hands-on experience integrating AI into real deal workflows. I use Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity daily for investment diligence, market research, and TAM analysis, and I leverage Excel Copilot and Cursor to build and automate financial models faster than ever. I've applied these tools across live transactions: from LBO and to 3-statement modeling to ARR and retention analysis, CIM and deck drafting, and synthesizing diligence materials on deals worth hundreds of millions. Whether you're a student breaking into finance, an analyst looking to work smarter, or a professional trying to actually embed AI into your workflow — I can show you how it's done in practice, not just in theory.
