My background encompasses management, investing and entrepreneurial experience in the media, entertainment, and finance sectors. During my career, I have developed and grown businesses in 15 countries; successfully completed transactions totaling in excess of $1 billion; co-founded and led a boutique investment bank where I provided financial advisory services on more than $350 million in transactions; managed the successful investment of $150 million of private equity capital in three media companies; built and sold a mobile application business; and, served on the boards of directors of for-profit and not-for-profit enterprises, most recently as Oaktree Capital Management’s representative on the board of directors of Education Management Corporation.

Currently, I serve as a consultant to companies in the areas of strategy, business development, fundraising, and mergers and acquisitions, work with entrepreneurs in several new business accelerators, and manage two investment funds focused on the acquisition and exploitation of music rights.
