About me

I partner with founders and operators during the critical moments that shape a company's future, whether that's accelerating growth, raising capital, preparing for an exit, or navigating a strategic transition. My work focuses on increasing enterprise value long before a transaction ever begins by helping founders make smarter decisions around growth, operations, capital, and positioning. I primarily advise founder-led businesses between $5M and $100M in revenue, providing strategic guidance on value creation, exit readiness, M&A, and complex deal structures. I believe the best outcomes aren't created at the negotiating table. They're built over years through disciplined execution, thoughtful planning, and consistently making decisions that strengthen the business. If you're building a company and thinking about growth, capital, or an eventual exit, I'd love to connect on Hubble.
