General Partner | Caban Global Reach • Building Operating Systems that Deliver Repeatable DPI in Fintech & Healthcare

I don’t believe in chasing deals.
I believe in designing outcomes.

With 31 years of experience across venture building, exits, and private equity, I’ve built and exited four businesses, scaled SaaS, fintech, and impact ventures across frontier markets, and now deploy capital as General Partner at Caban Global Reach and MD at Caban Group.

What differentiates my work is simple:
Deployment discipline → transforming capital into repeatable DPI, not one-off wins.
Operating systems → governance, cadence, and working-capital control that scale beyond founders.
Exit readiness → building liquidity pathways from day one, not as an afterthought.

What I do today:
• For founders: engineer clarity, commercial edge, and institutional discipline so they scale sustainably.
• For investors: originate proprietary deal flow, strengthen founder teams, and build governance that compounds trust and returns.

Philosophy:
The biggest risk isn’t failure.
It’s randomness.
That’s why the work isn’t speed — it’s discipline.
