I would like to work with entrepreneurs who have an idea or a small business, and a passion for that idea/business, who need some help nurturing and developing growth. I am a retired career banker and have worked with all types of businesses, large and small. I have also worked with businesses in diverse industries. In addition to providing financing to clients, I have led and managed businesses, encompassing business strategy planning, business development/sales/marketing and P L and balance sheet responsibility. As such, I have a broad general business background and good common sense about what might work, what might not work, and knowing what I dont know. I am also comfortable working with more established entrepreneurial companies to help them further advance and tune their plans. In sum, my banking experience has given me wide-ranging insight into many different businesses in a myriad of industries. As such, I can share that experience with you.
