About Present Capital

Most recently, he served as Head of Strategic Finance at Traba, a high-growth technology company, where he helped scale the business to tens of millions of dollars of revenue. Prior to that, he spent almost a decade at hedge funds, including Aperture Investors and LHC Capital, analyzing and investing in businesses across industrial, marketplace, and software sectors.

Operational Experience
Scaled a high-growth technology company to tens of millions in revenue as Head of Strategic Finance. Hands-on experience building teams, systems, and financial infrastructure.
Patient Capital
Family office structure means no fund timeline or LP pressure. We buy to build for the long term, not to flip on a three-to-five year horizon.
