I am a legal tech entrepreneur with extensive experience in private equity and M&A.
Currently, I hold the position of CEO at Dealstack, a platform built to streamline deal administration for private equity professionals and lawyers.
I co-founded Dealstack in 2022 with the mission to eliminate repetitive, time-consuming tasks in legal processes, enabling professionals to focus more on high-value, strategic work.
Prior to founding Dealstack, I spent over a decade practicing law at top firms such as K&E and Linklaters, where I gained first-hand experience in the challenges that legal professionals face when managing PE transactions.
Now, as CEO of Dealstack, I’m working to reshape how private equity and law firms handle deals—making the process faster, simpler, and more efficient.
