Max is a commercial and operational leader with a career built at the intersection of development finance, private capital, and policy.

He began at a San Francisco investment group partnered with the Nakhodka Free Economic Zone on an infrastructure initiative supported by the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), now DFC, as part of a planned $100 million regional commitment — providing him early hands-on exposure to cross-border project finance and supply-chain execution.

Turning to compliance, Max worked alongside Protiviti — the risk and regulatory consulting firm built from Arthur Andersen's former practice — securing multiple multimillion-dollar Sarbanes-Oxley engagements that included Silicon Valley's largest, setting a new companywide benchmark.

In 2006, he co-founded Execuforce, scaling the IPO, regulatory-compliance, and leadership-search firm to more than $1 million in revenue in its first year.

Max holds an M.A. in International Policy Studies and a B.A. in International Relations from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.
