• 7+ years in capital markets, project finance, infrastructure finance, or structured credit

• Personally closed $50M+ in asset-backed, equipment, or project-finance facilities

• Strong command of GPU economics: unit cost, depreciation, utilization, contracted vs spot revenue

• Deep modeling skills: cash flow waterfalls, covenant compliance, sensitivity analysis

• Active relationships across banks, private credit funds, and infrastructure lenders

• Track record negotiating complex term sheets and intercreditor agreements

• Experience financing data centers, semiconductors, or other capital-heavy infrastructure
