introducing shar kassam

"I spent my 20's in financial and management roles at start-ups; my 30's advising CEO's, tackling hard negotiations and challenging M&A's; and my 40's building teams and platforms. I've brought all that experience together as an investor, lawyer, CPA and entrepreneur to fit pieces together to solve problems in ways that others don't see."
