Highly accomplished Wall Street deal maker and financier with 20+ years of experience. Versed in merchant banking, private equity, alternative investments and physical commodities trading. Worked over the last two decades on more than 125 corporate transactions representing approximately $30 billion in value and ranging in size from $5 million - $5 billion. Personally raised in excess of $3.5 billion in privately placed debt and equity financing for more than 100 companies involved in leveraged buyout, acquisition financing, and growth financing and corporate restructuring worldwide. Built and financed a dozen companies from start to exit and generated in the process over $50 million in fees and over $200 million in value for firms and portfolio companies associated with. Successfully and intensely lobbied the different U.S Administrations since 1997, and particularly the recent George W. Bush's administration, in implementing radical and sweeping changes throughout the Near East and the Gulf region through the gathering and dissemination of critical intelligence. My personal motto: There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its outcome, than to take the lead in introducing a new order of things. Thus in my dictionary, an idea that is not 'dangerous' is unworthy of being called an idea at all. My business motto: It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things that money cannot buy. My motto on success: I believe you have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments or publicity. Specialties: Sourcing, structuring and funding the highest quality venture and trading deals; both throughout the U.S and in emerging markets with a particular focus on the MENA region. Lobbying the Washington Establishment in implementing radical and sweeping changes throughout the Near East and the Gulf region through the gathering and dissemination of critical intelligence.
Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. Niccolo Machiavelli Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. Norman Cousinsincent van Gogh Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws. Mayer Amschel Rothschild A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason. J.P Morgan Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.

The Commodity Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC) is investigating trading in oil futures to determine whether the surge in prices to record levels is the result of manipulation or fraud.
