About
Hi - my name is Sean and I'm currently the Chief Financial Officer of a high-growth SaaS business. Prior to my current role, I led Finance/FP&A/Corp. Dev. teams at a couple other high-growth SaaS businesses. I began my career in Investment Banking, working for an Elite Boutique firm called Greenhill. After spending a couple years there in NYC, I moved to San Francisco, California to work in Private Equity at TMT-focused Silver Lake, focusing on their middle-market strategy (Sumeru), eventually spinning-out the fund into Sumeru Equity Partners. In total, I spent ~7 years in Private Equity, focusing on high-growth SaaS investments. I can help coach on Investment Banking, Private Equity, Finance more broadly, and also the move over to the Operating side of things.
Sean also coaches for Private Equity, Investment Banking, and FP&A. View all.
Sean’s Executive Coaching Qualifications
Experience level: Executive
10+ people coached for Executive Coaching
Open to working with clients outside the U.S.
Sean has helped clients get into these companies:
I am now a C-Level Executive of a company, and have previously served as a controlling shareholder (when I worked in Private Equity) and Board Member. I can help advise on how to make it to the C-Level, how to interact with shareholders (particularly Private Equity and Venture Capital), how to be successful, etc.
Why do I coach?
I have been a coach for many years, and I really enjoy giving back in the same ways in which I benefitted in the past. I had the benefit of having a substantial IB and PE network through my college, and I also had many coaches in the workplace. These experiences really helped shape my career today, and I'm a firm believer in paying that forward.
