I came to CBS after three years on the investment team at HEICO, a serial acquirer in aerospace & defense and niche industrials, and have spent my time here building on that foundation: co-leading the Private Equity Club, organizing the PE conference, taking PE-focused coursework, and spending my summer leading M&A for Ironstead, an AI-enabled aerospace acquisition platform.

After graduation, I’m looking to bring my operating and deal experience to a private equity or similar investing role in New York.
