Lary Kirchenbauer is a deeply experienced commercial and investment banker, venture capital partner and investor, as well as serving in several intensive and high growth CFO / COO / CEO roles. He founded a merchant bank and has served as the Managing General Partner of a $35MM venture capital fund as well as an EVP and CFO of a high growth, consumer products company that grew from $5 million to over $125 million in a little more than 5 years.
In my former position as a tax partner at KPMG, LLP, I worked closely with Lary on the tax aspects of the plethora of business issues that arise in the life cycle of a start up company.
