SKILLS
ABOUT BRET WEINBERG
Results driven business development and capital strategy executive with 15+ years of experience sourcing, negotiating and closing multi-billion dollar acquisition and partnership transactions across institutional platforms. Point person in developing and implementing strategic vision for business partnerships and networks, both domestically and internationally. Executive-minded leader who is experienced in cultivating and managing C-level client facing relationships. I operate most effectively where capital, strategy and commercial execution intersect. I thrive in environments that demand both executive-level judgement and hands-on deal leadership. Outside of the office you can find me on a golf course, passionately rooting on my Arizona Wildcats (Bear Down!), traveling the world (from Africa to Europe to Israel to South America) meeting new people and experiencing new cultures or trying to keep up with my two daughters and son.
