Our Team

---

I have over 30-years of experience as a banker and private investor professional. In 2001, I founded Transitional Investors, a specialty finance investment firm focused on long-lived asset transactions.

Prior to forming Transitional Investors, I built Equal Access Networks, and was subsequently the CFO of Affinity Internet; both venture backed telecom infrastructure companies.

I have completed over $50B in debt and equity financings as a lender and principal for Bank of America, GE Capital, Bank of Montreal, and KPMG BayMark Capital. Additionally, I was one of the founding members of Bank of America's Leveraged Finance Group in 1986, opening and running their European LFG operations. 

I began my banking career after being a CPA, in mortgage-backed securities, and interest rate swaps.

I recently co-authored a textbook (Credit risk management and Analysis), with Chris Droussiotis, and am teaching at Columbia University and the University of Denver, where I am completing my PhD.

I am an owner and entrepreneur partner in Transitional Capital Management, LLC.  

I hold degrees in marketing management and business administration from the University of Connecticut. With my fluency in both Mandarin and Cantonese, I have helped TCM  bridge language gaps with many clients from Asia.

I have had extensive experience in developing sales and marketing strategies for emerging technology products, as well as long lived assets. With over 15 years of experience in marketing and mortgage lending, I have been able to work for companies such as Kodak, Accredited Home Lenders, and Residential Money Center/GMAC.

I have helped develop Transitional Capital Management's structure and form new funding products for many of TCM’s platforms, in addition to being responsible for operations of TCM's partner solutions integration.

I extensive experience as an investment banker spanning over 45 years. Additionally, I have a proven track record with major firms in entrepreneurial environments in the US, Canada, and Japan. 

I have successfully completed over 100 sell-side M&A mandates and numerous public and private capital raises (over $3 billion in financials alone). 

Previous and current clients view me as a strong listener and creative partner. These skills have allowed me to establish new firms and banking efforts as a player/manager across financials as well as healthcare, life sciences, and energy. I also served as an investment banking expert in a number of important litigation cases.
