Operating experience across the deal cycle
Every side of the table
I have worked in both PE and VC-backed companies. Run sell-side diligence on my own company through to exit, and buy-side diligence on acquisitions we then had to integrate. Led M&A and post-merger integrations, including PE roll-ups, and run product, technology and AI diligence for the investor side.
The request list a buyer sends is one I have written myself.

Yehuda is one of the best CTOs I have ever worked with. Visionary, entrepreneurial and transformative. He connects technology to business goals fluently and takes his team, and wider organisation, along on the journey to achieve strong results together. And aside from that, great fun to work with. Can but only recommend him if you want to scale for hypergrowth.

Yehuda is an exceptional CTO. Not only to set a clear Tech Strategy for any SAAS scale up (or established company with a digital transformation strategy) but also the ability to make it happen. As a team player and coach, he enables & empowers his team to deliver and grow as professionals. All done and executed with full stakeholder alignment with investor(s) and broader C-Suite. On the personal level, Yehuda is highly engaged on many different topics and always offers to help where possible (or needed). Would love to continue to work with Yehuda in any way or form.
