Senior IT Executive and Entrepreneur
Greater New York City Area
I have spent the entirety of my professional career honing my technological and business skills, starting as an entreprenuer building an IT consulting firm, to CTO of a national derivative firm, to CIO of a Management and Technology consulting firm focusing on the financial sector responsible for P&L of the practice area, as well as client acquisition and retention. This includes decomposition of the client’s market and organization, review of external drivers such as technology innovations and legislative temperature, and the orchestrating of technological and procedural solution-sets to create and/or exploit competencies. Interests lie in finding organizations in the Financial sector that allow me the latitude to exploit my strengths in Information and Technology, Finance and Strategy. These include asset management, investment, hedge fund and, in particular, private equity firms.
