Broker Biography

Introduction

I started out as CFO for Rio Bravo Oilfield Services, where it birthed a love for small business, as I developed the financial department from the ground up, sat on the Board of Directors, and touched every facet of the company. I went back to business school, receiving an Executive MBA from Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina in 2015.

After an exit event at Rio Bravo, I worked for a few years at a boutique investment bank, mainly
focusing on due diligence of small businesses that were M&A targets. In 2018, I founded Wolcott Consulting, a fractional CFO and Exit planning firm.

With over 15 years of experience as a small business CFO as well as business owner, my passion is serving entrepreneurs. I understand intimately what it’s like to sit in their seat, both from a professional and personal standpoint. My goal is to help use this experience to help them achieve their goals.
