Auditor / Business Consultant

𝗛𝗶, 𝗜'𝗺 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗠𝗲𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗻𝗲𝗿 — 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 & 𝗖𝗙𝗢

If you're responsible for driving performance across portfolio companies, you already know: in today’s market, financial engineering alone isn’t enough.

That’s where I come in.

I’m what I call a “𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿–𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰”—someone who can steer a company forward with strategic clarity, or roll up my sleeves and fix what’s not working. Most businesses need both at different moments in the PE lifecycle.

Over the past 25+ years, I’ve worked with industrial and manufacturing companies through growth, integration, and exit. I specialize in turning operational complexity into clear EBITDA expansion, stronger cash flow, and premium valuation outcomes—while keeping fund metrics front and center.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗔𝗱𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲

✔️ Unlock EBITDA growth through pricing, margin, and cost discipline
✔️ Improve cash conversion and accelerate DPI through working capital focus
✔️ Drive 30–50% multiple expansion by de-risking and repositioning
✔️ Build operational transparency that strengthens buyer trust
✔️ Support IC narratives with performance clarity

𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱-𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁

I don’t just improve operations—I help improve fund performance:

🔹 Flattening the J-curve with early traction
🔹 Driving TVPI through structured, compounding improvements
🔹 Accelerating DPI through cash focus and exit readiness
🔹 Uplifting IRR by 500–800bps over baseline expectations

𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲:

I partnered with a PE-owned industrial business to grow EBITDA from $12.5M to $22M over five years.
We achieved a 50% multiple uplift, paid down $12.5M in debt, and exited at a $182M equity value—up from $50M—resulting in a 3.6x MoM and ~38% IRR.

No shortcuts—just structured, fund-aligned execution.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗜𝗻

🟢 Post-acquisition → 100-day plans, traction, and RVPI support
🔵 Mid-hold → Margin gains, synergy capture, TVPI momentum
🔴 Exit readiness → Cash conversion, buyer confidence, DPI acceleration

𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁

If you’re looking for operational support with fund-level impact—at any point in the lifecycle—I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
