A seasoned investment executive based in Toronto, our prospective advisor currently serves as Managing Director at a leading independent Canadian investment bank. In this role he spearheads strategic-growth initiatives, cultivates key client relationships, and oversees several internally managed, factor-based equity mandates. Beyond public-markets leadership, he brings deep experience in venture and private-company finance. He has raised multiple millions for early-stage consumer and technology start-ups, guiding several to C$15–20 million in annual recurring revenue. Earlier, he co-founded a diversified technology acquisition platform inspired by the Constellation Software playbook, securing C$50 million in initial capital and serving as founding CEO through its scale-up phase. His track record also includes launching and running a systematic, momentum-driven hedge fund and later co-managing more than C$3.7 billion in equity portfolios at one of Canada’s largest bank-owned asset managers. Collectively, these experiences give him a 360-degree view of capital markets—from seed funding to institutional portfolio management—making him an invaluable strategic partner for our venture fund.
