Venture Partner & Head of China
2018 - 2021
Traveling to China over 30 times since 2014, spending an average of 90 days a year there, I have developed a keen interest in facilitating the operational and commercial success of the most promising early stage companies in one of the world's largest, fastest growing, yet difficult to enter markets. Currently, I am heading up the development of the East family of funds for 7bc in China which endeavors to set up a network of RMB JV funds in cities throughout China. We are in the MOU stage with GPs in Hefei, Haikou, Shenzhen, Beijing, and Nanjing. 7bc East achieves tech transfer, job creation and the generation of tax revenue in China. Its true innovation is solving the problem of marrying restricted capital with the world's most promising growth companies.

2003 - 2008
Proprietary Trader
2003 - 2008
Self-developed and financed trading strategy that arbitrages the dissemination and impact of information on equity and equity derivative pricing. Investment objectives focus primarily on equities that have quick momentum potential and appetite by market participants who are slow to respond to information. Managed a team responsible for reviewing functional specifications and delivering technical specifications to configure a dynamic proprietary software utilizing PERL to generate alerts resulting in profitable trading activity. The strategy yielded a return of 447% over six years. My inspiration was an academic study I published at Emory University which explained remarkable price disparity in homogeneous goods being sold online thereby giving me the idea to apply this same market inefficiency to securities trading.
