I forged multi-billion dollar strategic partnerships, led 20+ investments on behalf of American Express, and led the $850 million sale of Kabbage in the midst of the Covid pandemic. Building on 10+ of my investment banking and growth equity experience, I successfully transitioned to an operating role at Kabbage, the leading provider of financial services to small businesses. I devised and led distribution partnerships with the leading banks in the world growing Kabbage’s revenues to $500 million. When Covid hit, I led the overhaul of our corporate strategy and led the company’s sale, while managing relationships with our board, investors, partners, and employees. Joining American Express as part of the Kabbage’s sale exposed me to the most challenging process of any acquisition – integration. While building a cross-functional team to ensure Kabbage fit well within American Express, I led the expansion of Amex’s small business services via M&A and strategic investments deploying over $1 billion of capital in 2 years.

I have a wealth of experience in both the public and private sectors. I have worked in a variety of roles, from leadership positions to more specialized roles. This has given me a unique insight into the challenges and opportunities associated with jumping between the two sectors. Furthermore, I have worked closely with the White House and other governmental organizations in the course of my career, and I have a deep understanding of the transitions and processes involved when making the move from private to public sector roles. I have also successfully advised many individuals on how to make this transition, providing them with practical advice and support to ensure a successful outcome. My knowledge and expertise make me well-qualified to help others make this transition and I look forward to sharing my experience with your customers.

Happy to share insight based on my corp dev recruiting experience
