What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my expertise in corporate development and strategic growth within a dynamic and innovative company.

I am a seasoned corporate development professional with extensive experience in sourcing and executing acquisitions, capital raises, and strategic partnerships across various industries including consumer, healthcare, and technology. Currently, I serve as a consultant at Cosmos Consulting, where I advise multiple businesses on growth strategies and investor relations.

Previously, I was the Head of Corporate Development at Savage Enterprises, where I successfully deployed over $2.5 billion in equity capital through seventeen acquisitions and four project financings. My strategic focus on optimizing portfolio exposure led to a significant shift from fossil fuel investments to higher growth industries, demonstrating my ability to navigate complex market dynamics and drive sustainable growth.

My career began at Goldman Sachs, where I specialized in advising corporations on capital structure and market access. I played a pivotal role in notable deals, including Apple's record debt issuance. My academic background in finance, complemented by leadership experience as captain of my university football team, has equipped me with a unique blend of analytical and team-oriented skills.
