After graduating from Columbia University School of Law and initially working as a Corporate Finance attorney at large international law firms,  I  started a  company with two investment banker clients.  Since getting hooked on building businesses, I have  been a senior executive working in management, operations, law, corporate  development, and compliance for the past 20 plus years as well as a founder,  CEO,  venture capitalist, board member, speaker, and mentor to other founders. I have been part of teams that have raised billions of investment capital.

Experience running companies and legal departments in multiple industries, including Nasdaq-listed biotechnology companies, cleantech, health services, venture funds, private equity and complex software companies. Decades of operational experience successfully navigating and complying with many of the U.S. and world’s most-complex regulatory frameworks as well as running Human Resources and IT/IS departments. Understanding what strategic advice a CEO, founder, board member or senior executive most values derived from my experiences, including as CEO/Founder/Board Member.
