What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in transforming businesses, focusing on strategic growth and operational excellence within a dynamic and innovative company.

I am an accomplished CXO and private equity consultant with a proven track record of transforming distressed and underperforming businesses into high-value, market-ready assets. Since 2020, I have partnered with global private equity firms through Huck CXO Partners, driving accelerated growth, operational excellence, and successful exits for seven business units, leading the full transaction cycle for three.

In my recent role as Principal & Private Equity Consultant, I led engagements with private equity firms, focusing on middle-market businesses. My strategic initiatives have resulted in significant profitability enhancements and market leadership. I have successfully executed M&A strategies, collaborated with government departments, and implemented operational streamlining that has consistently delivered measurable results.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership positions, including Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, where I have overseen large teams and managed substantial P&L responsibilities. My commitment to operational excellence and strategic growth has enabled me to achieve remarkable outcomes, such as doubling EBITDA within 30 days and saving substantial costs through optimized processes.
