I bring a decade of hands-on investment banking experience advising founders, boards, and management teams through complex, high-stakes M&A and capital-raising transactions. As a Director at a middle-market investment bank, I’ve led and executed sell-side and buy-side processes across industrials, infrastructure, business services, and specialty manufacturing - working directly with CEOs, private equity sponsors, family offices, and strategic buyers. I’m deeply involved in every aspect of a deal, from shaping the equity story and building institutional-grade financial models to managing diligence, negotiating key terms, and navigating real-world process dynamics under tight timelines. What sets me apart as a coach is that my guidance is practical, current, and battle-tested. I don’t teach theory in a vacuum - I help clients think like bankers, anticipate investor questions, avoid common pitfalls, and develop the judgment that actually drives outcomes. Whether you’re breaking into investment banking, leveling up from analyst to associate, or preparing for senior-level responsibility, I focus on sharpening technical skills, communication, and process management in a way that reflects how deals truly get done.
