When I made partner, Howard pushed me to focus on the types of deals I was passionate about and to build my practice around them. In addition to Fortune 500 companies, I wanted to handle pre-IPO unicorn rounds and IPOs of the next generation of leading companies. Howard was instrumental in helping me realize that goal.
