Advisory
Companies and asset owners rarely need advice in the abstract. They need judgment on a specific situation, from someone who has been on the other side of the table. Bruno brings twenty-five years of financial leadership, capital-formation, and transaction experience to a small set of situations where that judgment matters most.
Where Bruno's Experience Applies
Evaluating an acquisition or a reverse merger
Bruno has led a public-company reverse merger and the $11 million acquisition that followed it, and has integrated multiple acquired businesses into a single operating structure. He can help a board or founder pressure-test the structure, timeline, and integration plan before a term sheet is signed.
Structuring a new venture or holding-company platform
Bruno has built Defiant International into five distinct operating divisions and founded seven prior companies from zero. He advises founders on the organizational and entity structure that makes a venture easier to finance, sell, or spin off later.
Determining capital requirements and financing alternatives
From a $2.3 million institutional raise at the bottom of the 2008–09 credit crisis to today's tokenization-based capital strategies at Defiant Consulting, Bruno helps owners compare traditional debt/equity financing against newer structures like partial real-world-asset tokenization, and decide which fits their asset and their appetite for giving up control.
Assessing a real-world-asset tokenization strategy
As Founder and Managing Partner of Defiant Consulting, Bruno works directly with owners of real estate, oil and gas assets, and cash-flowing businesses to evaluate whether tokenization can unlock liquidity without a full sale, and what that requires operationally and legally.
Navigating public-company reporting and governance
Bruno served as Interim CFO of a publicly traded company, preparing and filing SEC Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and Form D and rebuilding the accounting infrastructure to support them. That experience informs practical governance guidance for growth-stage companies approaching a public transaction.
Repositioning an underperforming or transitioning business
Bruno's restructuring of Foothills Exploration's accounting and operating infrastructure, and Global Distillers & Vintners' pivot to secure financing during a market crash, reflect direct experience steering a business through a difficult transition.
