Operational due diligence and value creation for technology investments.
Twenty years operating infrastructure at internet scale — eBay, BlueJeans, Fandom — applied to the questions that matter before a deal closes and the work that makes the thesis real after it does. Currently operating inside a TPG portfolio company.
Pre-acquisition: what are you actually buying?
Technical-operations due diligence on the target: scalability ceilings, infrastructure cost structure, security posture, and the maturity of the team and processes behind the product. A clear-eyed read on operational risk and the capital it will take to fix it — before it's priced into your returns.
Post-acquisition: making the thesis real
Infrastructure cost optimization, platform consolidation, reliability and SRE maturity, and the hiring that builds a team capable of running it. Embedded engagements with a defined exit — the portfolio company keeps the capability, not a consultant.
Both sides of the deal, already
Handpicked for the acquisition and integration team when Verizon bought BlueJeans — IT, network, and vendor consolidation across the merger. Ran the Adap.tv→AOL infrastructure consolidation in six months against a nine-month plan, with zero service interruption. Today: VP of Technical Operations & IT at Fandom, a TPG portfolio company, where cloud-agreement renegotiation and a CDN migration delivered substantial cost reductions.
On the bench
Available for operating-partner and advisor relationships: a known quantity your deal teams can pull in for diligence sprints or drop into a portfolio company for a three-to-nine-month operational rebuild.
