Profile introduction
Source excerptLinkedIn [2]

I founded SQOR and lead the team that built the first fully autonomous decision intelligence platform purpose-built for private equity. It does what no one else has been able to do: open the black box of portfolio company data that every fund struggles to access, and turn it into top-line growth and EBITDA improvement that drive better exit multiples for the funds that buy them and the LPs that fund them. Portfolio companies get intelligence they never had. Funds get transparency across every holding. LPs get confidence that what they're being shown is real. Deployed in weeks, not quarters.
