Half-Man, Half-Meme, 100% SE

Do you see random memes on your LinkedIn feed? It’s probably me!

Are you getting phone calls from numbers you don't recognize? Me again :)

I'm only half-joking but when I'm not posting memes or cold calling, I'm doing everything I can to improve my business acumen and lead a life of integrity, optimism, and service. 

I'm passionate about making a positive impact in my personal and professional communities. Ultimately, my personal mission is to help others and hopefully make some people laugh along the way.

Private equity firms don’t struggle to identify problems.
They struggle when leadership gaps stall execution.
A CEO who cannot scale.
A CFO who cannot close cleanly.
An operations leader blocking integration after a roll-up.

When timing matters, long HR-led hiring cycles and subjective decision-making become a liability.
Missed operating milestones.
Slipping value-creation plans.
Delayed exits.
And the most expensive risk of all: the wrong hire in a role that cannot afford a learning curve.
At the portfolio level, one leadership mistake can ripple across returns.

What I do:
I partner with US private equity operating and portfolio partners to resolve urgent C-suite leadership gaps that threaten execution momentum and exit value.
Delivering high-impact leadership hires in approximately eight weeks by:
Defining success from the PE firm’s strategic perspective
Converting subjective opinions into clear, objective decision criteria
Running a disciplined, time-bound search process across the full market
Identifying leaders who perform immediately and fit portfolio culture long-term

I have conducted over 200,000 interviews and spent decades working with operators, boards, and investors who value clarity, speed, and judgment.
When execution timing matters and the cost of mistakes is high, I act as a trusted partner to get the decision right, quickly.
If you’re looking in the PE space and searching for the next C-Suite hire, let’s connect
