Work

Over 25 years as a lawyer advising startups, I’ve formed hundreds of companies, guiding many through multiple rounds of financing, and significant personnel and revenue growth, as well as IPO and sale transactions. The most rewarding part of this work is building trusted advisor relationships with founders. I’ve learned that great companies are created by values-driven leaders who successfully respond to the inevitable challenges. Success requires consistent effort over a long period of time by a group of people committed to a shared vision and each other.

I believe each of us has a “gift” and mine insight – the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding about a person or thing. This gift, together with my long-term startup company experience, allows me to analyze and understand complex and dynamic situations, then explain them in a clear and simple manner. I use this gift to help people.
