    I'm passionate about building easy-to-use, detailed financial models for startups, small & medium-sized businesses, and real estate ventures. As a seasoned Finance executive with 10 years of Wall Street experience, I've managed ~4 billion USD in trading execution in Derivatives markets, as well as generated $10mm USD in profit as a Currency Options trader at Merrill Lynch. I've gained depth in my practical expertise through the Chartered Financial Analyst program - adding Corporate Finance, Real Estate and Venture Capital to my skillset. If you're starting out - I'll build a roadmap to success so you'll know where you stand when it comes to your business' finances. If you've been around for some time - we'll optimize the use of your resources and capital structure (de-complicating complex concepts at every step) to get your business to the next level. If you're ready to exit - we'll assess your business as a whole, give you a concrete valuation and be on your corner as you transition through the M&A process. My goal is to boil down financial concepts that may be challenging at first (I promise you, they're actually not), and communicate in a way where I'm not just sending you a spreadsheet, but a dynamic document that you'll understand and incorporate into the day-to-day of your business. Feel free to send me a message, always happy to help in whatever way I can!

    Blogger for Forbes and Bain & Co. Published in the New York Times DealBook, U.S. News & World Report, the FT.com and many other websites. Experienced investigative journalist and content writer. Expertise in technology, telecom, media, finance, mergers & acquisitions, dealmaking, IPOs, private equity, venture capital, insurance, investing and education. Content: I wrote blogs highlighting the private equity data of SPS by Bain, a business owned by Bain & Co., insurance-related consumer advice for U.S. News & World Report, and tech business strategy blogs for Forbes. Journalism: I'm a longtime investigative technology, media and telecom mergers and acquisitions reporter with an extensive track record of breaking news. I have strong connections to Wall Street, C-level executives, regulators and the banking community. My work has appeared in The New York Times DealBook, FT.com, Dealreporter, Mergermarket and many other publications. I'm flexible. I have published work in biopharmaceutical, biotech, real estate, security, fishing, satellite, investing and local news sites and newspapers. I have professional experience in education and insurance. I can be entertaining if given the opportunity. And I relish those opportunities. I'm experienced with SEO and WordPress content management. Though news and other publications shy away from artificial intelligence because it's an unreliable way to verify up-to-date information, I think it has value as a method of providing context around facts. Editors, however, have instructed me not to use it, and I respect their wishes. My greatest strength as a reporter is I find original information -- scoops. I can also analyze data and create a narrative around it. Writing and technology require constant change and learning, and as a professional of decades, I'm up to the task and eager to try new things. If you're seeking a professional you can trust to research information; be thorough, accurate and timely; discover something new or provide context around something old; it's my pleasure to help.
