Not so long ago, a pitch I wrote for a company I co-founded won the Global Entrepreneur of the Year award at the annual Pitch@Palace event at St James Palace, London. Today, I develop pitch decks for business operators everywhere. I collaborate on all aspects of a pitch deck, including content, storytelling, graphic design, financials, and deal structuring. It's an art form and a passion of mine. The range of documents I create includes business plans, financial models, investor pitch decks, enterprise valuations as well as company presentations. Many clients have retained my services to work on all their presentations. You can see 30+ case studies on my profile page below, and I am happy to send you my full portfolio. Some recent projects delivered successfully include: (1.) Full suite of investor documents for a US-based PE firm. (2.) Investor presentation for an angel investment fund in London. (3.) Investor presentation and financial model for a housing fund in Luxembourg. (4.) Confidential information memorandum for a Los Angeles-based mid-market M&A firm. (5.) Seed round investor pitch deck for a crypto services firm (USA). (6.) Information memorandum to sell a fire protection company based in Norway. (7.) Seed round investor presentation for a US-based Life Sciences company. (8.) Series A investor presentation for a cloud computing company in the UK. (9.) Series A investor presentation for an FMCG goods company based in Florida, US. (10.) Seed round investor presentation for a mental health tech platform in the UK. Regarding my background, I was raised in New Zealand, educated in Australia, and worked across the world as a career ex-pat for multinational companies. Today I reside in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. I have a Bachelor of Commerce degree with first-class honours, a GPA of 6.0, and 28 years of international work experience. I have served as a board director for the last ten years. Concerning my own entrepreneurial endeavors, in 2013, I co-founded a company that turns plastic waste into low-cost modular homes, schools and medical clinics. I raised USD10m in capital for this venture; it has 160+ shareholders and is an Australian unlisted public company. It's a lot of fun building businesses, and I thoroughly enjoy helping others do the same. On a personal level, I have a deep interest in businesses that improve lives or the world we live in. I think there is a lot to be said about companies that do well by doing good. Please drop me a line and let me know your needs to raise funding or grow revenues. Yours sincerely, Hayden

American, native English speaking corporate finance professional with over 24 years of uniquely broad and well-rounded analytical and managerial experience. For the last ten years I’ve been a full-time contractor. I provide top-quality, full-scope solutions and services in the areas of financial analysis, financial modeling, budgeting, dashboards, financial projections, investment research and analysis, accounting, business plan and pitch deck content & design, investor presentations, report automation and much more.

I'm not capable of delivering to a lower standard; quality work is important to me not just personally but also because I feel a real sense of obligation to deliver real value in every engagement I enter.

For me this is the most motivating aspect of contracting; I truly enjoy seeing clients receive real, meaningful and tangible benefit(s) from the work I deliver. If you have important work that you need done right then we ought to talk.

Background I am a Yale graduate, spent 16 years in the investment banking business with Credit Suisse First Boston in NY and London, and JP Morgan in Paris, London and NY. After that I ran a company in France for 11 years, and then moved to California where I have consulted and managed financial transactions, specializing in advising privately-owned companies with $5m to $50m in sales, as well as assisting start-ups and occasionally representing family offices and other high net worth investors. I speak fluent French. While in London (5 years) and Paris (20 years), I worked with companies all over the world as a capital markets expert, supervising a team responsible for 100 securities new issues per year, including IPOs, and then went to JP Morgan where I specialized in Corporate Finance. In 1996, I left investment banking to start consulting, but within a couple of months I was asked by one of my first clients to become CEO to a telecom services company (installed and maintained networks) that needed to be restructured. I proceeded to add 11 years of experience "making payroll" and being a company owner. I exited in 2007, and in 2008, after 20 years in Paris and 25 years in Europe, I moved my family (including four children) to the San Francisco bay area. In 2021, an empty-nester, I moved closer to skiing and hiking in northern Nevada. Since coming back to the US, I have assisted with the acquisition and turnaround (as CEO) of a virtual winery, established distribution channels for a start-up which produces wireless equipment for large-scale agriculture, and consulted and mentored dozens of entrepreneurs. I consult on financial strategy for company owners, including working as part-time CFO starting years' prior to any exit, assisting with valuation. I provide strategy and execution. I have introduced entrepreneurs to global companies, assisted in negotiating worldwide licensing and bring my global company experience to entrepreneurial companies. I have advised business owners on M&A (acquisitions & exits), capital-raises, strategic partnerships (in one case with a global luxury brand), tax and accounting strategy, executive compensation through shares or options, debt financings including SBA and supplier financing, and assisted with financial analyses, contract advice, and some services that qualify as management consulting. The execution I provide includes preparing business plans, investor decks, financial projections, financial analyses, valuations, term sheets, and assisting with contracts. I also assist with the negotiation, documentation, and closing. I signed off on billions of dollars of transactions as a banker, so I understand the contracts and know investor preferences. I advise on the business terms, but also advise on risk and risk mitigation, market practices, common pitfalls, pricing, valuation, timing, and however else I can help. I work with passion, have a lot of energy, and I really enjoy helping company owners and their teams.
