He has been intimately involved in strategic corporate acquisitions throughout the company's history and most recently led PRA's financing functions through the $1.3 billion acquisition of Norway-based Aktiv Kapital, which expanded the company into 13 new international markets and increased its estimated remaining collections to $4.7 billion worldwide.
