MENTORS PROGRAM
I am a fractional COO and consultant. I work with emerging and established companies helping them grow, prosper and obtain necessary resources, including capital. I help clients use new and existing resources effectively and efficiently. I prepare business plans, pitch decks, financial models, org charts, and marketing materials. I also help clients build teams to meet present and anticipated needs. I have helped dozens of successful businesses in industries ranging from auto bodies to antibodies. I have been an investment banker, a corporate executive (in public and private companies) a consultant, an author and an educator. I taught for 20 years in 5 top 20 graduate schools at UCLA, USC and UC Berkeley. I have also served as an Education Consultant for the Federal Reserve Bank and I created a video for the Ted Ed internet series to explain monetary policy that has been viewed more that 3.5 million times. One of my “super-powers” is serving as a “geek-to-human translator.” I am very comfortable with technology and I have a very extensive background in explaining to “civilians,” including financiers, how and why specific technology is important.
