Work Experience

  • Partner

    2008

    Though I have been an early stage venture investor since late 1999, I decided to found ff Venture Capital to focus on companies that deploy lightweight, disruptive business models to become the low cost player in their respective market. I have worked closely over the years with entrepreneurs in a variety of fields and have developed experience advising start-ups.

  • Capital Markets

    1986 - 2008

    During my twenty one years at Goldman, Sachs & Co. I worked in many divisions in a variety of roles that stretched from financial management, technology development, reengineering, and working closely with hedge funds in capital markets sales.

  • Chartered Accountant

    1982 - 1986
