Vice President, Finance & Portfolio Management
Numbers only tell part of the story; there’s a human element to our business that can’t be measured by a multiple or percentage.
There is always something to be learned from the people who choose to partner with you. Whether it be an LP investing in our funds, or a Founder choosing Hyperplane as an investor, there’s a connection formed in those commitments that allow for all parties involved to share ideas and grow alongside one another. We have a diverse LP base and a group of Founders I enjoy working with daily. Whenever questions arise, whether from our LPs or our portfolio, I am always happy to pick up the phone and work through things together.
Working at Hyperplane allows me to surround myself with exceptionally talented people on a daily basis. From our LPs to our Founders and everyone in between, I am constantly able to learn from the individual experiences of those we work closely with.
Before joining Hyperplane, I worked at HarbourVest Partners, focusing on valuation and reporting within the firm’s Direct Co-Investment group. I joined HarbourVest from Deloitte, where I served in the audit and transaction advisory group, specializing in aiding public clients in the manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services industries through financial reporting and acquisition processes. I graduated with a B.A. in Accounting from Emmanuel College as well as an M.S. in Accounting from the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business at Babson College.
When I’m not in Boston, I can be found on Cape Cod with family and friends. I spend the majority of my free time on the golf course and, much to my dismay, missing the cut in amateur events.
Outside of work, along with my family, I run Team Cork Inc., a 501(c)(3) charity focused on assisting cancer patients in need. We focus on raising money for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Patient Assistance Programs. Our funds aim to support cancer patients throughout their treatment process, helping to provide financial stability when they most need it.
