I have spent more than 25 years in mergers and acquisitions and technology-driven value creation, working with executives and investors on the decisions that determine whether a deal pays back.
My career began in telecom engineering and product work at Motorola, Nokia Siemens Networks and NewNet. I then moved into strategy and transformation advisory at Accenture Strategy, AlixPartners and Portage Point Partners, and later led technology, media and telecom transaction-to-transformation work at a global advisory firm.
Sabara Partners lets me work directly with clients, with fewer layers between the advice and the people who act on it. Many clients need a focused workstream, not a large team. I started Sabara Partners to offer experienced, hands-on support sized to the question, from a single diligence workstream to the full deal lifecycle.
