As Managing Director at CYG Partners, I help clients navigate complex financial challenges—whether it’s mergers, acquisitions, capital raising, or restructuring. I enjoy rolling up my sleeves, leveraging analytical thinking and clear communication, and turning complicated problems into actionable solutions that feel approachable and achievable. For me, it’s not just about delivering results; it’s about making sure every client feels like they’re part of the process.
I earned my bachelor’s in finance, followed by the CFA designation, and later pursued a degree in computer science simply out of curiosity. While I never worked in computer science, it gave me a new way of looking at problems and finding logical, creative solutions—a mindset I carry into my work every day.
When I’m not at CYG, I’m tending to my weekend “side hustle”—a tree farm that produces olive oil, pine nuts, and enough fruits and vegetables to keep my friends and family well-fed. I also make it a goal to plant 500 trees every year—partly because I care about the environment and partly because it’s the only way to keep up with the olive oil demand from said friends and family.
At CYG, I’m lucky to work with an amazing team and exceptional clients. Whether it’s cracking a tough deal or figuring out the best way to keep pests out of my trees, I enjoy balancing big challenges with a touch of humor and a lot of curiosity.
