Marcus

I have extensive experience in corporate finance, F&B startups, and turnaround management. As a freelancer, I specialize in providing customized consulting services to Startups as well as F&B businesses.

My career in corporate finance began at Merrill Lynch, where I worked as an Analyst conducting financial models and due diligence on numerous distressed deals. Later, I moved to a Private Equity firm where I built financial models for more distressed investment opportunities in various industries and helped manage a turnaround business plan for several of its investments. This experience gave me exposure to managing distressed situations and coordinating desired outcomes with stakeholders and 3rd parties.

After my corporate finance career, I ventured off to build my own business related to import and cold chain distribution business and establishing a quick-service restaurant brand called Makai Acai & Superfood Bar and TONIC with a total of 15 retail stores. Here, I learned the foundation of people management, F&B import and retail business, fundraising, and building several departments including onboard an ERP system for the company.

Recently, I have taken on several freelance projects, working with F&B businesses to manage their assets, streamline their operations, and improve their financial performance. My expertise includes developing financial models, conducting due diligence, and executing turnaround business plans. Additionally, I have experience in managing distressed situations and coordinating with stakeholders to ensure desired outcomes.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills and knowledge to help F&B businesses achieve success. With my experience in corporate finance, F&B startups, and turnaround management, I am confident that I can deliver customized solutions that meet the specific needs for your projects.
