Oren Klaff
Director of Capital Markets, Intersection Capital

Profile:

I think the field of finance is being overrun with dull and repetitive businesspeople, who are doing the minimum possible to get by, with apathy, and complacence, and generally achieving mediocrity. If this is what you're trying to get away from- then I think I'd like you.

Most of my experience has been in raising money, but I can pitch any kind of deal. Right now I'm pitching an airport, and several technology start-ups - I've pitched 23 of those to date with some success.
