Archel G. Desir

I am a senior corporate development executive with a background in risk management, executive operations and investment finance, I’m in my element when working with businesses to assess, design and execute strategies that grow revenue and increase profitability while reducing financial and operational risk. Through extensive management consulting and capital advisory projects, as well as experience in launching investment fund vehicles and growing a wide array of portfolio companies, I have gained a uniquely integrative understanding of finance and operations that prioritizes performance optimization and risk mitigation. I’ve served in financial and operating leadership roles, and as an investor in early stage companies operating in the technology, healthcare and manufacturing verticals. With a solutions-driven mindset, I provide strategic business and financial advisory services that allow companies to secure new investments, establish strategic partnerships, and realize sustainable growth while minimizing operational risk. I thrive in fast-paced, honest cultures that are driven by innovation and disruption yet recognize the critical necessity of risk management. These kinds of cultures best leverage my transformational skills and ability to drive executive action and deliver measurable results. Through a thoughtful, process-based analysis I quickly assimilate as part of an executive team to identify and seamlessly assess and execute new initiatives and growth opportunities that disrupt, innovate, inspire change while driving risk-managed growth and profitability.
