*** 3 years ago advised an beleaguered Auto components manufacturing firm in discovering costing problems and why an merger with a Portuguese company wouldn't work, unless set right first.
***I have been working with a london based payments start up to evolve their product strategy and helped position the case to Rothschild.. the project has a green light and already in touch with other firms.
***I am working with an India based Sports goods retailer, in exchange for a minor stake, to improve their sales, bring structure & get funding.
Thanks much
