QofE & ETA Advisor | Fractional CFO | 100+ Deals Closed | $2B+ Raised
With over 20 years of experience in finance and strategic advisory, I bring deep expertise to the search fund and entrepreneurial space. In 2008, I personally bought and sold a company, giving me a firsthand perspective on the challenges and rewards of acquisition entrepreneurship. Today, I lead the Transaction Advisory Services practice at Amplēo, where I’ve guided clients through 100+ M&A transactions and helped raise more than $2 billion in capital. My background as a CFO for multiple companies (and taking them through successful transactions) has equipped me to develop and execute growth strategies that drive real results. Beyond technical expertise, I’m passionate about mentoring searchers and entrepreneurs, helping them navigate the complexities of the search journey with confidence and clarity. If you’re pursuing a search fund or exploring acquisition entrepreneurship, I’d love to support you in building your roadmap, avoiding common pitfalls, and achieving your business goals. Let’s connect and discuss how I can help you succeed.
