Technology is at the core of what I do. With an early career rooted in engineering and deep experience in the Bay Area technology ecosystem—including hands-on roles in early-stage companies—I leverage my technical background to deliver exceptional value to clients.

Every transaction presents its own complexities and challenges. Drawing on extensive experience across early-stage fundraising, growth capital, M&A, and liquidity events, I’m equipped to guide clients through a wide range of scenarios. My track record spans a variety of deal types, enabling me to design tailored processes that align with each company’s specific situation.
Focused Attention
I work with a select number of clients at a time, allowing me to dedicate complete attention and energy to each engagement. This focus ensures that every client receives highly personalized, high-caliber advice and support throughout the process.
Unparalleled Access
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.

Through a combination of sharp market insight, focused execution, and strategic perspective, I deliver premium outcomes. Years of experience across relevant transactions enable me to anticipate challenges, uncover opportunities others might miss, and consistently exceed expectations.
Efficient Execution
With a deep understanding of the market and ongoing conversations with key players, I’m able to move quickly and decisively. Supported by well-honed processes and modern tools, I can stand up and run a deal efficiently—helping clients capitalize on opportunities without delay.
