Corporate Development Coach | Ex-Tech IB | 3x Growth for SaaS Business
Regardless of where you work currently or what University you attend, I am eager to be a resource to help you 1) understand the Corporate Development recruiting landscape, 2) develop skillsets that are needed to have on-the-job success and 3) create a personalized recruiting plan to break into any corporate development program. I received multiple Corporate Development offers despite lower standardized test scores, a lower GPA from a non-target State University, and not having worked for a top investment bank. I have experience (and can provide advice / prospective) recruiting for Summer Analyst, Full-Time, and Lateral investment banking recruiting. I took a non-traditional path networking that lead to nine internships in three different states, culminating in a full-time investment banking offer for a technology group in San Francisco. I received two Corporate Development offers at private equity-backed SaaS companies. Today, I've worked 2+ years as the first Corporate Development-focused employee at PDQ.com, a TA-Associates and Berkshire Partners backed SaaS business. In this role: - I've built out the M&A function leading deal sourcing, execution, and integration for a highly profitable, growth-stage SaaS business. - I've successful completed three acquisitions that led to tripled growth for the company in two years. - I have spoken to over 200 founders, vetting their businesses for strategic fit, and have participated in dozens of bank sell-side processes - Report daily to the C-Suite, weekly to the Board, and actively collaborate with Product, Engineering, Go-to-Market, and other internal teams to source and conduct due diligence I've also networked with leaders at top Corporate Development platforms at public companies (Apple, Zoom, PayPal, Shopify, American Tower, Royal Caribbean) and understand the recruiting landscape and difference in platforms as well. Let's connect and discuss how I can assist you in reaching your goals.
