EARLY CAREER

Investment banking was an invaluable experience because it provided exposure to a variety of companies, business models and CEOs which kept things interesting. However, I always thought the real fun happened after capital was raised or a company was acquired – but as a banker, you’re not really involved at that point. So, I went to the operating side to see what happened next! What then attracted to me to investing, particularly at Edison, was I got the best of both worlds.
