At Pacaso, I lead Legal, People, & Corporate Affairs (which includes Capital Markets, Corporate Development, and External Affairs) — a unified platform designed to help the company grow sustainably, manage risk, and strengthen ties with investors, regulators, and key stakeholders.
My focus is making strategy work in practice: how we raise and deploy capital, build and empower a great team, structure smart transactions, and navigate a fast-changing regulatory and policy landscape. I work closely with our Board and CEO, and I partner actively with our finance, operations, and product leaders.
In 2022, I served as Pacaso’s Head of Europe, managing that business unit and overseeing its successful evolution. I am also a named inventor on 2 Pacaso patents, one of which relates to the tokenization of real estate assets.
Since 2019, I’ve enjoyed serving as an adjunct professor of corporate law at the University of Michigan Law School, where I have taught courses on Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Transactions, with a focus on structure as well as governance and the role of the board.
Before joining Pacaso, I was a long-time partner at Thompson Hine LLP, an AmLaw 150 law firm, where I specialized in counseling executives and boards through pivotal periods, whether through the organizational stresses associated with rapid growth or disruptive innovation, or through the trials and tribulations of financial adversity.
In short, what I bring is seasoned judgment, cross-functional leadership, and a dimensionalized perspective on growth — qualities I use to help the leaders, boards, and investors I serve create lasting value.
