Mentor Capitalist - Early Stage Advisory Services

About

I am a serial entrepreneur who now works as a strategy consultant with established organizations and as a mentor capitalist helping promising entrepreneurs grow their companies. Over the years I have worked across a wide range of industries including B2B and B2C software, life sciences and biotech, government / defense industry, manufacturing, supply chain / distribution, agribusiness, and retail. I have worked in 30+ countries on five continents, with strong knowledge of emerging market economies and international business development. I have personally been involved in the early stages of a dozen companies, five of which eventually had an exit (two went public, two were acquired, and one was sold via an MBO) and have raised over $28M in venture capital. In addition, I helped launch a new enterprise software division within IBM and was a Manager in the Technology Consulting Practice at Ernst & Young.
