Startup, operations, consulting and investment banking experience

Advising emerging businesses takes having "been there"  

Co-founding two technology companies, raising numerous rounds of capital and serving on the executive team of an established information services company were all invaluable operational experiences, from which I constantly draw. When one is advising the CEO of a fast-growing company on how best to navigate some of their toughest decisions, there's no substitute for the experience of actually having been one.
