执业经验

Tim’s significant engagements include:

  • The $5 billion acquisition of a data historian software and software as a service (SAAS), whose customers included US critical infrastructure companies and US Government (USG) agencies, and which required the successful negotiation of a novel NSA.
  • The $1.2 billion acquisition of a software and SAAS provider for the design, modeling, analysis of electrical networks, whose customers include US critical infrastructure and USG agencies, with the successful negotiation of a next-generation NSA.
  • The acquisition of a SAAS provider of applications designed to manage and optimize renewable and distributed energy resources, which required the renegotiation of an existing NSA.
