VK Energy Bar
Through extensive consultation and trust, we developed the operational strategy and financial projections for VK Energy Bar. Including go-to-market strategy.
The focus was on brand integrity aligned with scalable execution.
I started working at 15 — riding my bicycle four miles each way to grocery shifts. That is where I learned what accountability actually looks like, long before I ever had a title.
Over the next 25+ years, I built a career that went from frontline operations into institutional finance, and from there into COO and CEO leadership of a multi-billion dollar precious metals business.
At MKS PAMP’s U.S. operations, I scaled a team from 12 to 60 people and helped grow revenue from ~$200M to ~$3 billion — not through strategy decks, but through operational execution, systems building, margin improvement, and practical leadership.
Before that: integration leadership across RBS, JPMorgan, and Freepoint Commodities. Controller, treasury lead, legal entity accountability, liquidity forecasting — all inside the real complexity of post-acquisition environments during volatile markets.
The pattern is consistent: fragmented, messy, underbuilt systems. Figure out how they actually work. Fix them. Build them. Scale them.
