Private markets are at an inflection point. The firms that will lead the next decade aren't just the best investors — they're the ones who've built the infrastructure to operate like institutions. I've spent my career at that intersection of strategy and execution — launching, acquiring, and growing businesses across private markets, alternative investment fund services, and fintech. At Arcesium, I lead our Private Markets segment, partnering with alternative asset managers — private credit funds, PE firms, real estate and infrastructure managers — as they navigate the complexity of scale: LP reporting, investor transparency, fund accounting, and portfolio data management. What drives me is the operational and strategic layer underneath the technology. How do you build systems that keep pace with a rapidly growing book of business? How do you give investors the transparency they now demand without rebuilding your back office from scratch? These are the questions I've worked through across multiple continents — having lived and developed businesses in the US, Europe, Asia, and Latin America — and they're the ones I find most energizing today. That work has earned recognition from peers and the industry alike, including being named to the "Who's Who in Private Credit Technology" by The Private Markets Forum I also write and speak regularly on private markets modernization, and have been quoted across outlets including CNBC, Institutional Investor, Private Equity International, Pensions & Investments, Global Custodian, Preqin, Private Equity Wire, FundFire, AlphaWeek, Institutional Asset Manager, Alternatives Watch and Waters Technology. Beyond my operating role, I'm drawn to governance and strategic decision-making at the board level — particularly in private fintech companies where technology, financial services, and operational complexity converge
