With a decade of experience in the media and entertainment industry and a deep background in investing, I bring a unique perspective to the world of small business transactions. I’ve built and exited successful ventures, advised early-stage startups, and invested in dozens of companies across media, technology, and consumer services. Now, as a business broker, I help owners unlock the full value of what they've built and guide buyers toward smart, strategic acquisitions.
