About

Business Development, Deal Making and Debt and Equity Capital Raising

I am a seasoned dealmaker located in New York City. A co-founder and partner at investment group, New Bridge Partners, LLC (www.newbridgepartners.io) and its affiliated companies, I have enjoyed over 35 years in the investment banking and financial services business driving new business, market penetration and investment.

At New Bridge, I have worked to originate and structure transactions for the company in a wide variety of sectors including technology, renewable energy and manufacturing among others. Working with key co-investor partners, I coordinated group transactions leveraging relationships with multiple equity investors.

An experienced leader with broad strategic vision, business development and investment experience in the U.S. and South Africa among other markets, I originated new business for the company and was responsible for driving New Bridge’s strategic direction and positioning it for future growth. I also co-managed the company’s equity research arm providing research and emerging markets insight to hedge funds in both Europe and the U.S.

Prior to New Bridge, I was a co-founder and partner at Nova Capital Partners, LLC where I oversaw business development for the company and was responsible for opening new emerging markets including South Africa, Ghana and Kenya.

Prior to co-founding Nova Capital, I served as a Principal at American Capital Strategies (ACS), a $50 billion dollar publicly traded leveraged buyout fund. At ACS, I was charged with overseeing new investments into enterprise level technology companies across the U.S. I was also responsible for investments in other sectors such as logistics, distribution, and transportation.

I am also a contributing op-ed columnist at CNBC Africa and has written for the Dallas Morning News and Business Day Live among others, writing on a wide variety of issues from business in the emerging markets to U.S. politics.
