He has held a diverse range of leadership positions, including Head of Convertibles and Equity Derivatives, Managing Director of Global Market Solutions, and Head of Tech Media Telecom Equity Capital Markets at Wells Fargo. In these roles, he built and managed high-performing teams and advised public and private companies on financing and strategic transactions across multiple industries and geographies, including software, semiconductors, fintech, digital media, and telecom sectors. Tim also served as VP of finance and interim-CFO at ServiceSource International, prior to its IPO in 2011, and was CFO of ApplePie Capital.
