CohnReznick LLP
What led you to a career in the deal-making industry?
Started a career in Accounting. Several clients went through transactions, I met individuals in the deal-making community, and my career evolved. The pace of deal-making and because no transaction/client are the same, fits my personality.
How does diversity add value in the deal-making process?
Diversity brings different perspectives and ideas, while balancing the different personalities involved. Women tend to bring a softer touch which often helps diffuse some of the ongoing pressure and stress.
The most memorable deal I worked on....
Raising capital for a failed IPO. A successful outcome would have been to walk away from the process. That learning experience has allowed me to view success vs. failure differently.
Advice for achieving success in the industry....
Never doubt yourself, put your head down, focus on those things you can control/influence. Surround yourself with talented and like-minded individuals.
