Background and Education
My career began in investment banking at Goldman Sachs, where I worked for five years on the Technology, Media, and Telecom team. During my time at Goldman, I worked with companies such as Disney and ABC Broadcasting, Universal Music Group, Formula 1, and Spotify.
I had the chance to complete transactions in financing (IPO, debt and equity raises) as well as both sell side and buy side M&A advisory. This experience set the stage for my business-first approach in the music scene.
I hold an undergraduate degree from Harvard University, and a Masters from the University of Oxford. My educational background serves as the foundation to how I approach problem solving.
