Work Experience
Co-founder and Partner
Desrosier Capital Partners
- Co-founded a private equity firm in 2021 using my skills and prior experience.
- Negotiated and executed two letters of intent (LOI) with potential platform acquisition targets, leading the due diligence process on both targets while simultaneously managing the capital partner fundraising workstream.
- Developed a new website for my new firm that was integral to creating its new marketing materials. Created a color palette and formatting theme for these materials and refined the go-to-market messaging.
Vice President
Dominus Capital
- Received two promotions on an accelerated timeline due to my strong performance. Received consistent top reviews as an investment professional on the lean team.
- Completed a leveraged buyout (LBO) of a new platform investment and completed the transformative add-on acquisition for an existing portfolio company that grew EBITDA by nearly 120% as a result of the combined entity.
- Performed detailed due diligence analyses of target companies, with one CEO noting that he was impressed with the output of my analysis.
Investment Banking Analyst
Wells Fargo
- Worked as an investment banking analyst in the industry-agnostic mergers and acquisitions (M&A) group at Wells Fargo's investment bank, Wells Fargo Securities.
- Got selected in a competitive interview process from many candidates for a coveted role in one of the bank's top investment banking groups in their investment banking headquarters.
- Received an offer to stay on as a third-year analyst on a promotion track that would ultimately lead to a managing director position, but opted to join a private equity firm in New York.
