What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that challenge me and allow for strategic growth.

I am a seasoned professional with over 17 years of experience in mergers and acquisitions, specializing in due diligence and corporate risk management. Throughout my career, I have successfully executed 70 deals, managing all phases of M&A transactions, from sourcing and target assessment to due diligence and integration. My strategic initiatives have led to acquisitions that significantly expanded company portfolios, optimizing deal processes to improve efficiency and reduce time-to-close by over 40%.

Currently, I serve as the Vice President of Finance and Corporate Development at SagePak LLC, where I developed a corporate financial model that secured $2M in initial funding. My previous roles include Director of Corporate Development at Imagen Dental Partners, where I closed over 40 dental practice acquisitions, and Director of Corporate Development at Young Innovations, where I successfully acquired three dental manufacturers. My expertise in cross-functional project management and corporate strategy has been instrumental in driving growth and innovation across various sectors.
