I am a private investor interested in meeting entrepreneurs with interesting start-up projects and lack of seed capital. I work as Equity Analyst in a Hedge Fund and my educational background is focused on Finance and Economics: Degree in Business&Economics, MBA in Finance and CFA designation and 10 years experience in professional investment are my main professional credentials. My investment objective is portfolio diversification. My current portfolio is mainly invested in public-listed stocks, bonds and other highly liquid investments. Angel investing is risky but would provide diversification, higher potential returns and joy for starting something new from scratch. My first and last experience in Angel Investing was a loan to a friend besides my financial advice. However, economic conditions deteriorated dramatically and forced him to shut down in less than 3 years.

I'm relatively new to angel investing, but I've made 5 investments over the past 24 months. Those investments have ranged from $25k- $250k, and have included internet businesses, software, organic foods, and telco/mobile software. For my day job, I am a Vice President of Business Development for Software at IBM. I lead the M&A for our data/information related products and led the acquisition of Netezza, Initiate, and Guardium in the last 2 year. Prior to that, I ran IBM's semiconductor business in Asia (living in Japan). Prior to that, I was a Partner in IBM Global Business Services. My role at IBM is unrelated to my angel investing (ie I will not angel invest in deals that are in the enterprise software space). That being said, I have a decent bit of large scale investing experience based on my role at IBM. I am a private investor.
