About Michele

I am a finance professional with experience in the highest fee generating teams on Wall Street, including Goldman Sachs TMT and Deutsche Bank Global Industrials. I have advised founders, investors and high growth companies on multi billion dollar M&A transactions, complex financings and strategic decisions where precision, speed and clear communication are essential.

My core work focuses on helping companies strengthen their financial position, prepare for major transactions and communicate their story to investors.

What I support clients with:
  • Fundraising and investor materials: I build business plans, financial models and investor decks that are clear, credible and aligned with what top tier investors expect
  • Fractional CFO and strategic finance: I bring the analytical depth of investment banking with the practicality of an in-house finance team. I help companies understand their numbers, evaluate decisions, plan growth and manage financial communication.
  • M&A and corporate development: I assist with market mapping, valuation work, buy-side and sell-side preparation and process execution in fast moving or competitive environments.
In addition to my core finance work, I also advise AI and software companies on how to position their product with banks, private credit funds and asset managers. This is complementary expertise I provide when relevant.

How I Work
My approach is analytical, fast and collaborative. I integrate quickly with teams and deliver work that is investor grade and founder friendly.

If you have a project coming up or a specific challenge you want to tackle, feel free to reach out. I would be glad to discuss how I can support you and add value to your work.
