About

I'm a different
kind of advisor

I've worked on both sides of the table — advising private equity firms on talent and value creation, while simultaneously building and scaling technology companies as a CEO.

At Korn Ferry, I lead Private Markets Advisory across North America, working with PE and growth equity investors from lower middle market sponsors to large-cap global funds.

At PointeOS, I'm building the future of restaurant operations – a cloud-based, AI-driven operating system.

This dual lens defines my approach. I understand what it takes to create enterprise value because I do it every day.

Differentiation

Why work with advisors who haven't done it themselves?

01

Operating Experience

I've been the CEO. Built teams, raised capital, managed P&Ls, scaled platforms. I know what works because I've lived it.

02

Tailored Strategy

Every situation is different. I design solutions around your specific needs – not templated playbooks.

03

Lasting Partnership

I stay engaged beyond the initial work. As board member, operating partner, or ongoing advisor.

My Approach

Combining human capital strategy
with systems thinking

Understanding Performance

I've spent 18+ years studying what makes leaders, teams, and companies perform at the highest level. From investment banking to PE to VC, I've seen hundreds of management teams under pressure.

Achieving Performance

Theory isn't enough. I apply proven methods and cutting-edge AI analytics to diligence, portfolio strategy, and leadership assessment — ensuring decisions are grounded in data, not guesswork.

Scaling Performance

As CEO of PointeOS, I'm building intelligent systems that extend human capability. The same principles I use to advise PE firms, I apply to scaling my own company.

Sustaining Performance

I don't disappear after the deal closes. Whether as an operating partner, board member, or strategic advisor, I stay engaged to ensure value creation continues long after the initial engagement.

Engagement Models

Three ways to work together

01

Operating Partner

I step into portfolio companies to drive operational excellence, build high-performing teams, and accelerate value creation through talent strategy and AI-enabled performance systems.

02

Board Member

I bring strategic insight and operational execution. I've sat on both sides – as an investor and as a CEO. I help boards make sharper, faster, more defensible decisions.

03

Strategic Advisor

I work with PE firms to enhance diligence, optimize portfolio strategy, and build management teams capable of scaling using data-driven insights and AI-powered analytics.

Performance

Understanding it. Achieving it. Pushing its boundaries – for leaders, companies, and investors.

That's where AI, leadership, and operating excellence converge.
