CEO of Exchange Listing | Founder of Emmis Capital IPO Fund | Author of 'The Entrepreneur's IPO' |

As a skilled capital market advisor, I partner with emerging growth companies to provide access to capital and facilitate completing an IPO on Nasdaq or NYSE stock exchanges or advancing as a public company. 

In my 35+ years as a C-suite executive for public and private companies, I’ve established myself as a trusted resource in navigating the ever-changing climate of Wall Street. I have successfully launched several highly innovative companies through the complicated structuring and execution process to meet listing and funding objectives. 
I guide companies through the preparation, implementation, interpretation of actual listing analysis and metrics, and offer aftermarket support with authentic and unique value propositions.

I've successfully ushered entrepreneurial emerging growth businesses to their IPOs and helped them become uniquely positioned to access growth capital and international capital markets. How? By providing results-oriented, direct access to a one-stop solution in the strategic planning and implementation of listing on a senior exchange most cost-effectively and efficiently possible. 

I'm passionate about providing leadership in varied aspects of corporate finance and capital markets by drawing on my expertise with a myriad of diverse and satisfied global entrepreneurial clients. I've also just written my debut book, The Entrepreneur's IPO, a roadmap for going public as a small/micro-cap company.

One of the world's largest companies has made a quiet yet significant shift.

Walmart is moving its listing from the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq.

A company with more than $800 billion in market value. Listed on the NYSE since 1970. Now choosing a new home.

Moves like this are never about optics. They are about alignment.

Walmart cited shared values with Nasdaq. A technology-forward approach. Innovation. Client focus. These are not marketing lines. They reflect how the business is evolving.

The listing change adds another layer. It positions Walmart for inclusion in the Nasdaq 100. That means greater visibility and additional passive fund flow. It also reflects how much of Walmart’s future is tied to automation and artificial intelligence.

This is the largest exchange switch by market value in history. And yet the meaning is simple.

Exchanges compete on structure, technology, and alignment.

Companies choose the platform that matches where they are going, not where they have been.

Markets shift. Strategies evolve. Companies reposition.

What stays constant is the need for clarity, discipline, and the right environment to grow.

This is another reminder that listing decisions are strategic choices.
