Q

A.

How has your experience across industries

and functions equipped you for M&A?

I can instantaneously triangulate target

strategies, trends, and competition with brand

equity.

Q

A.

Why proprietary deal flow?

The easiest value to be created is within the

existing value chain, where we want to increase

a brand’s presence and valuation. We look at

every participant that could bolster credibility

and visibility through corporate development.

Q

A.

What’s your favorite part of cross border?

Micro and macroeconomic value creation.

China’s been cool, but financing global SMEs is

the future, and I think US equity capital markets

should have place at the table.
