Managing Partner

Stellar Consultancy

Dec 2017 - Present • 8 yrs 6 mos

$400M+ raised across 200+ founders in 20+ industries - from pre-seed pitch decks to Series A financial models and institutional data rooms. Stellar Ventures is a capital advisory firm operating across North America, GCC, and MENA. We help founders become investor-ready through a five-phase system: 1. Narrative architecture 2. DD-ready capital assets 3. Pitch coaching 4. Engineered investor outreach, and 5. Active deal management through close. Notable closes include a $35M institutional blockchain raise (Zenith Chain), $15M Series A for a neobank targeting the underbanked gig economy, $48M mixed-use development fund (North Miami), and $1.5M raised in 60 days for a Web3 fine wine platform (Vinesia). Our edge: most advisors help founders pitch. We help them close — by building materials that speak the investor's language, not the founder's.

Assurance & Business Advisory Manager

PwC

Jul 2013 - Apr 2018 • 4 yrs 9 mos

Four promotions in six years within PwC's Assurance and Business Advisory Services (ABAS) - one of the firm's most competitive practice areas. Core work: M&A financial due diligence, business valuations, financial statement analysis, and advisory for mid-market and enterprise clients across multiple industries. This is where I developed the institutional-grade financial rigor that now underpins every model and data room I build for founders. The PwC methodology - stress-testing assumptions, identifying red flags before investors do, structuring financials to withstand diligence - is the backbone of Stellar Ventures' approach.
