Welcome to my profile! My professional experience in private equity began with a value creation role at Vista Equity Partners (~$100B AUM), where I honed my skills in implementing go-to-market growth initiatives for enterprise software companies. I specialized in Sales Strategy, Revenue Operations, & Customer Success, but engaged across a variety of sub-functions during my time at the firm. I went back to pursue my MBA at Chicago Booth and pivot to value creation roles in the middle-market investing space, and have spent time at both PSP Capital & Erie Street Growth Partners in Chicago as I broaden my value creation toolkit. If you are interested in learning about the skillset and networking required to land a role in the PE Ops / Value Creation space, I am happy to help you craft a personalized strategy based on your experience, investing sectors of interest, and size of firm you are targeting.

With hands-on experience working in Morgan Stanley’s Real Estate Private Equity group in New York City, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to break into and excel in private equity.

I know firsthand what top firms are looking for — from technical skills like modeling and deal evaluation to the soft skills needed to thrive in a fast-paced investment environment. Whether you're preparing for interviews, looking to sharpen your real estate or private equity knowledge, or trying to break into the industry, I’m here to help you get there with practical advice, real-world insight, and a clear plan tailored to your goals.

Let's connect to discuss how I can support your journey into the world of private equity!

I’ve spent a meaningful part of my career on the investing side, working in private equity and leading acquisition efforts, and later advising founder-led businesses through transactions. That experience gave me a clear view into how investment professionals actually evaluate companies, make decisions, and think about risk, upside, and positioning. I’ve also been on the other side of the table working with operators and founders, which is often where candidates struggle to connect their experience to what investors are really looking for. Breaking into private equity is not just about credentials. It’s about how you position your experience, how you think about businesses, and how you communicate that in a way that resonates with investors. I help candidates understand how the process actually works, what differentiates strong candidates, and how to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be. My approach is grounded in real-world experience across deals, hiring, and working alongside investment teams, not generic recruiting advice.
