What led you to a career in the deal making industry?
I was always a creative person who liked the challenge of coming up with solutions to problems. So, when I realized that I could take this skill to the business world, I was eager to give it a try. I've worked with people from all different backgrounds which has allowed me to create an incredible network and to expand my knowledge of the industry. As a deal-maker, I’m constantly challenged to think outside the box, be creative and come up with unique solutions.
Diversity adds value in the deal-making...
Diversity brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the deal-making process. Having different perspectives encourages deeper dialogue and an exploration of potential risks and opportunities from all angles. Teams can identify and uncover better solutions for a more successful deal-making outcome.
Most memorable deal...
Family-owned exit to a new family operator. Seeing goals on both sides satisfied, a successful exit for one, and start of a new enterprise for the other, was a win for all.
Advice for achieving success...
Learn your clients’ goals for a transaction day 1 and make those goals yours during the deal process. There is no winning or losing, there is only succeeding for your client and your clients’ goals.
