My first job was working for my family’s home health agency (Mainland HH) in League City, Texas.  My mother started the business our garage in 1978 and by September of 1990 we had 6 locations across Harris & Galveston counties. I started in the file room and worked my way up from utilization review to patient scheduling and, finally, operations before my family successfully sold our sizable business.  

Prior to starting my M&A advisor career, I strategically lead sales planning initiatives for organizations such as GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Astra Zeneca. I’ve built marketing plans and launched blockbuster medications that made significant differences in many patients’ lives. In my 25 plus years of experience in pharmaceutical leadership, I’ve won numerous national awards.

In my previous roles, I spent a great deal of time analyzing data to maximize strategic growth.  As a partner with Founder, I am taking that same data-driven, research-based approach to assist entrepreneurs orchestrate exceptional exits. 

I knew I wanted to pursue a career in mergers and acquisitions after my first week as an M&A business development executive.  I've always been interested in how entrepreneurs started and grew their businesses.  Over the years I've appreciated hearing Founders share their stories.  Whether it's the $53 million revenue company built by two brothers in their basement on a shoestring budget financed with their credit cards, or the single Mom who built a national logistics business while her kids were in elementary school…that perseverance and fight to succeed is apparent and memorable.  Helping them turn the page to their next chapter is where I hope to be a resource.
