What I'm looking for

I'm looking to originate and develop proprietary acquisition opportunities within a permanent-home, buy-and-hold model, building long-term founder relationships and supporting high-quality software acquisitions.

At CORA Group, a division of Constellation Software, I built a 200+ company market map from zero and originated proprietary acquisition opportunities across vertical market software.

Over 3+ years, I originated 50+ qualified opportunities, independently closed an approximately $25M CAD enterprise-value acquisition sourced cold over 11 months, and progressed four additional targets to LOI stage.

I represent Constellation's permanent-home, buy-and-hold philosophy in conversations with founders, owners, and senior decision-makers, building trusted relationships that can span years before a transaction.

Before CORA, I generated enterprise pipeline at Hopin, Vidyard, and BookJane. I also founded and operated a design and manufacturing business for 10 years, managing full P&L, client relationships, and a distributed team of 15–20 staff.
