evaluating business exposure, identifying weaknesses in complex financial arrangements, and helping clients protect themselves from losses that often appeared impossible until the moment they happened.
I had spent years working with private investors, family-owned companies, and international businesses.
The work was demanding, confidential, and occasionally unpleasant.
I learned to recognize the difference between confidence and arrogance, between a legitimate opportunity and a carefully disguised liability, and between a person who needed help and a person who wanted someone else to take the blame.
Eventually, I established my own advisory firm.
