Thought leader in capital markets and second order effects

What I do

Investor model and valuation drivers: Clarify what investors are underwriting, where assumptions are wrong, and what evidence closes the gap that creates a valuation discount.

Cost of capital and access to capital: Reduce uncertainty that widens spreads or depresses multiples through disciplined disclosure, governance clarity, and proof that holds up under scrutiny.

Capital allocation and inflection points: Pressure test high consequence decisions, including financing, IPO readiness, M&A logic, and strategic resets, so milestones get delivered and value creation is legible.
