Mega Funds Experts

With nearly three decades advising boards, CEOs, and investors across private equity and venture-backed companies, I bring a deep understanding of what drives success in the PE ecosystem. I’ve partnered with leading sponsors including Thoma Bravo, KKR, Apollo, Blackstone, Clearlake, Insight, Francisco Partners, and Apax among many, many others to assess, recruit, and coach executives through transformational value-creation journeys — from pre-acquisition diligence to exit. Having completed 450+ executive placements and been directly involved in 40+ successful exits creating over $25B in enterprise value, I’ve developed an insider’s view of how talent decisions shape investment outcomes. That experience enables me to coach aspiring and current PE leaders with a pragmatic, investor-aligned lens — focused on readiness, impact, and the leadership behaviors that creates value.

I'm a former Bain Capital Private Equity investor and Stanford GSB MBA with experience across buyout and growth investing. Previously a Vice President at SKKY Partners, I've worked closely with founders and senior investors on complex transactions. I help candidates develop real investor judgement, strong case performance, and clarity under pressure. I'd love to work together and help you perform at your highest level.

Welcome to my profile! I began my career in Morgan Stanley’s Consumer & Retail Group in 2018, and then joined TPG in 2021, where I worked across growth and middle market private equity investments. I also worked with TPG’s C-suite to launch TPG NEXT, a GP-stakes fund where I evaluated hundreds of opportunities across asset classes, and was involved in supporting experienced investors in launching and building their own firms. I left in 2025 to pursue my own entrepreneurial journey. During my time at TPG I was involved with associate recruiting, candidate evaluation, case study reviews, and training of new associates and interns. Having seen the industry from multiple angles, I understand how to position yourself strategically to stand out in your interview process and career. I can help with: - Recruiting from non-target schools into competitive finance seats - Navigating associate performance, deal exposure, and internal mobility - Thinking about life after finance (exit options, MBA, entrepreneurship, sabbaticals) - You’re a more experienced investor and want insight on the ins/outs of launching a fund My specialties are: crafting a competitive resume and story, navigating your recruiting process, and technical interview/case study prep. Always happy to schedule an intro call first. Looking forward to working together!
