Stepping into the Forbes Finance Council: A New Chapter in My Finance Journey
I’m pleased to announce my acceptance into the Forbes Finance Council, an exclusive, invitation-only community of accomplished finance executives, entrepreneurs, and investors shaping the future of global capital.
It’s an honor to join this distinguished group and contribute to its mission of advancing thought leadership and innovation within the industry.
Why I’m Joining the Forbes Finance Council and What It Means for My Work
At Eqvista, every day we are obsessed with one question: How do you price something that doesn’t trade?
Private markets are massive and growing. And yet, the infrastructure underneath them is held together with duct tape and quarterly valuations. You can’t build liquidity on stale data. You can’t scale innovation without transparency. And you certainly can’t unlock trillions in value if no one agrees on what anything is worth.
That’s the gap we’re closing with Real-Time Valuation®, a live pricing engine for private assets that creates the rails for everything from venture debt to secondaries, investor reporting, and wealth management.
But infrastructure is only as good as the conversations happening around it. That’s where Forbes Finance Council comes in.
What I’ll Be Writing About
As a council member, I’ll be contributing thought leadership on the topics that keep me up at night (and should probably keep you up too):
- The future of equity pricing in the private markets – why the old valuation model is broken and what’s replacing it.
- Real-time infrastructure and liquidity – how live pricing enables more dynamic, efficient secondaries.
- Transparency as a competitive advantage – because trust is the foundation on which modern capital is built.
I’m not here to theorize from the sidelines. I’ll be sharing what we’re learning firsthand at Eqvista and gaining insights from the visionary leaders within this community.
What’s Next
I’m grateful to be part of a council that’s asking the hard questions and building toward better answers. And I’m excited to bring our work at Eqvista into that conversation.
This invitation is not just a credential; it’s a responsibility to contribute more to the founder and investor community. If you’re building, funding, or advising the next generation of companies, connect with me and let’s turn these insights into better cap tables, smarter valuations, and stronger outcomes for everyone at the table.
Stay tuned. There’s a lot more to come.
