03 — Governance & Board Candidacy

Operator judgment, ready for the board table.

I govern the companies I have founded end to end — strategy, capital structure, and investor reporting — and I read board materials the way an LP would, not the way a manager would. I am pursuing select outside board-director roles, where an operator who has carried the P&L and structured the capital is more useful than another investor or another generalist independent.
