I've taken over a decade of experience working on some of the largest, transformative M&A and equity capital transactions, and with the Leonis Partners founding team, created a results-oriented strategy that serves the need of growing technology firms at every level. At Leonis Partners, my team and I design bespoke processes tailor-made to our clients’ needs, maintain active dialogue with the largest, most sophisticated corporations and private equity investors, and bring to bear best in-class techniques from our experience at the largest investment banks, private equity firms and corporate development teams to maximize the value of our clients’ businesses.

After working for investment banks like JPMorgan and Lazard Freres, I realized that the techniques I learned could be applied to growing technology businesses in the middle market where, historically, access to premier M&A and capital advice was limited. The Leonis team has over 100 years of deep technology domain expertise and advises on deals totaling over $250 billion in transaction value. From its founding, the company has grown quickly and emerged as a leader in technology M&A and capital raising, offering customized solutions with unconflicted advice.

The marriage of tech and finance is at the heart of my strategy. The world of technology M&A and growth equity is iterating every day, and Leonis continues to call upon my team to be as agile as a startup while serving the needs of the most established names in finance. Top tech experts and consultants give Leonis Partners an edge in helping tomorrow’s major players take the necessary steps to build and grow. Growing companies know they will not scale to their potential without a finger on the pulse of software and AI development and other leading trends.

The Leonis Partners philosophy is simple: superior results come from a superior foundation, and when the biggest players in finance and technology want to reach the next rung, myself and the Leonis team are there to provide the reliable footing. With offices in Washington DC, New York, and Atlanta, Leonis continues to grow its presence and ability to deliver customized and unbiased M&A and capital raising solutions for growing technology companies.
