Finance professional with expertise in venture capital and investment banking.
What I'm looking for
I am a finance professional with extensive experience in venture capital, private equity, and investment banking. My career has been marked by a proven track record in fundraising and strategic advisory, where I have successfully supported startups through various stages of growth. I have developed investor strategies for over 1,000 founders, securing more than $900 million from top venture capitalists. My focus is on creating investor-ready documents and executing high-stakes deals across tech, healthcare, and consumer industries.
In my role as Managing Director at Easy Capraise LLC, I have led stakeholder engagement and navigated complex capital-raising challenges. My previous experience as VP of Investment Banking at PwC involved managing investor updates and financial reporting during significant corporate transitions, including a complex carve-out and post-merger integration. I have built strong investor relations and executed successful sales and acquisitions, demonstrating my ability to optimize working capital and provide critical financial insights.
Additionally, I have served as a Venture Partner at Plug and Play Tech Center, where I identified high-potential investments and helped companies achieve Unicorn status. My commitment to mentoring startups has allowed me to advise over 200 founders on investment narratives and financial planning, ensuring they are well-prepared for investor engagement.
