While Others React, I Anticipate

Futurist who implements his insights, producing exceptional returns
Harvard MBA/JD • Princeton summa • Success across six continents

The most valuable opportunities hide in plain sight—until someone with the right lens brings them into focus.

When Avon’s board questioned African markets, I established what became its most profitable subsidiaries in Nigeria and the Ivory Coast. Years before Wall Street recognized China’s sourcing potential, I initiated the first joint venture between the PRC and a Fortune 500 Company (Campbell’s Soup) while at Lehman Brothers. I founded the Transactions Development Group at Drexel, working for Mike Milken, to identify and acquire undervalued companies as well as to finance disruptors with high potential. Long before cloud computing became conventional wisdom, I co-founded one of the first cloud/SaaS companies—acquired by Oracle, with a successor achieving a $13.5B valuation. I’m an investor in its third iteration, with agentic AI, having raised the A round, before it was then acquired by the industry leader.

This isn’t luck. It’s systematic pattern recognition.

My advantage isn’t just experience—it’s perspective.

I see patterns others miss because I combine elite academic training (Harvard Business School Baker Scholar, Harvard Law School cum laude, Princeton economics summa) with hands-on execution across six continents. More importantly, I cultivate relationships with industry pioneers, academic visionaries, and international thought leaders who share breakthrough insights years before they surface in mainstream discourse. You can review the insights that I’ve capitalized on here.

What’s emerging on my radar: The irreversible shift to an Asia-centric global economy, the defense technology investment opportunity for early-stage companies, and the profound ways agentic AI is reshaping both customer experience and higher education. These aren’t incremental changes—they’re foundational shifts that will define the next decade and beyond.

Current leadership:

• Board/Audit Committee, Employbridge (~$3+B revenue, largest US industrial staffing, Apollo Global portfolio company)
• Managing Director, ViciPartners (consistently increases client profits 50%+ through performance-based strategies) Clients include Blackstone, KKR portfolio companies, Humana, Panasonic
• Managing Director, B Generous (leading marketplace for nonprofit financing)

The future belongs to those who can see it clearly before it arrives.

I don’t just adapt to change—I help create it.

What transformational opportunities are you missing while they’re still invisible to your competitors?
