Cornell was instrumental in enabling us to successfully raising our desired capital. He also provided great insight into the key drivers of our business and what was needed to scale.”
Cornell has always been a great resource for us which we deeply appreciate. His guidance of our finance team on several occasions has been really valuable as we scaled up our business. In addition, he has provided us with some interesting solutions for thorny issues which we encountered early on as we grew.”
"We wanted to develop several innovative business models for our PPD division.

It was a pleasure to work with him and we would certainly wish to engage with Cornell in the future."
