Vice President, Investment Bank
Individual Buyer in Chicago, USA
Interests:
I am interested in typesetting and printing businesses in Chicago, Miami, Costa Rica or San José, due to potential business opportunities. Prioritising high-value-to-cost offerings that demonstrate an inelastic demand profile for recession resilience. Focused on high-margin, high-cash-flow operations that require limited working capital, ensuring efficient cash conversions. Businesses should offer a stable, potentially niche market to maintain continuous revenue even during economic downturns.
Background: I am a former industrials investment banking vice president with significant experience in the packaging and basic materials sectors. I am currently pivoting my career to pursue entrepreneurship and am interested in evaluating US and Latin America acquisition opportunities, particularly those that align with my professional experience. Collectively, I have advised on over USD 2.5 billion of industrials M&A transactions. Specifically, the largest M&A deal I advised was the 2021 sale of a healthcare group, a pressure-sensitive labels converter focused on the food & beverage markets, to a US private equity manager. I am highly interested in learning more about converting operations in Costa Rica.
