About Milton
Private Equity investor and entrepreneur with experience across the full investment lifecycle, specializing in middle market buyouts. Founder of Axiom Street, an independent sponsor platform focused on advising on and investing in lower middle market acquisition opportunities, and Axiom Insights, an investment research and business development platform serving private equity investors. Previously served as Vice President at Author Capital, where I co-led business development and investment underwriting efforts across private market investment opportunities. My expertise spans the entire investment process — from sourcing, commercial diligence, and underwriting to investment committee strategy and transaction execution. I help candidates bridge the gap between investment banking and investor judgment by focusing on high-impact financial modeling, investment memo writing, commercial due diligence, and the mindset required to think like a principal investor. Whether my clients are targeting generalist buyout funds, specialized real asset platforms, or private capital investment roles, I provide the frameworks, technical rigor, and strategic perspective needed to navigate buy-side recruiting and excel in demanding case studies and live deal discussions.
Why do I coach?
I want to help ambitious candidates accelerate their growth, build confidence, and unlock opportunities they may not have thought possible. Coaching allows me to share the lessons, frameworks, and perspective I’ve gained across my career. More importantly, I coach because I enjoy helping people realize their full potential.
