I work on a variety of corporate transactions; my practice focuses on capital markets transactions, but I also work with early-stage companies and founders. My main passion is people. I love getting to know my clients and being a friendly face while helping them solve problems so they can focus on what matters most to them: their business.

I represent startup companies through all aspects of their life cycle. I also advise both financial and strategic venture capital investors. Over the course of my career, I have helped to form and grow hundreds of technology companies including multiple unicorns.

I help founders and funds advance innovation around the world – I’ve done a deal on every continent except Antarctica! I’ve spent my entire career as a builder, business advisor and investor in the innovation economy. I’m not a lawyer, but rather work with Orrick’s legal teams to help our clients grow their businesses through connections, relationships and other resources. Before I joined Orrick, I led a global team in support of world-class founders and investors at Silicon Valley Bank. I’ve also been a founder and worked at several VC firms.

Enabling clients to meet and exceed their goals, while working alongside incredible teams, is the foundation of my practice. With a background in professional motorsports, I specialize in transformational, complex transactions that fuel entrepreneurs, business leaders and financial sponsors to advance their businesses.
