My access is built on deep, long-standing relationships cultivated over decades in the technology and investment ecosystem. These connections provide unique insight into the priorities of key decision-makers across the market. Because I actively advise companies in the space today, I bring proprietary, real-time knowledge of the buyer universe and can open doors that might otherwise stay closed.
