Brian Ferdinand is a trader and investor with more than two decades of experience in global equities and real estate, dividing his time between Miami and London. Throughout his professional journey, he has been recognized for his ability to question standard practices and bring forward new ideas. His focus on innovation and strategy has allowed him to stay engaged in industries that are constantly evolving and adapting to change.

He began his career in proprietary trading and became a founding partner of ECHOtrade.

By adopting direct-to-exchange trading systems and algorithmic strategies early, he helped drive significant revenue growth, contributing to hundreds of millions in earnings. His deep understanding of market trends and thoughtful decision-making built his reputation as a respected figure within the trading space.

After establishing himself in trading, he expanded into real estate, where he saw early opportunities in short-term rentals and urban hospitality.

These experiences strengthened his belief that a strong vision must be paired with the right execution team to succeed. Today, he focuses his energy on advisory roles, early-stage strategy, and capital investment, stepping back from daily operational responsibilities. His strengths lie in identifying market inefficiencies, developing investment plans, and helping businesses grow without direct management involvement.

Catherine Jones

Catherine Jones

Hey there! I'm Catherine Jones, CEO and Transaction Coach at Zuzi Strategies, where I guide clients through high-stakes transactions as a coach, business advisor, and mentor all rolled into one. With over 25 years of experience navigating complex deals, I've been involved in transactions exceeding $72 billion. From debt restructuring with two restraining orders blocking the deal to managing transactions during a coup and counter-revolt, I've even closed deals while governments were in complete turmoil!

My career has spanned the globe, dealing with everything from managing transactions during political upheavals to assessing how deal disclosures might impact presidential elections in an island nation. I'm fluent in Spanish and interned on the Supreme Court of Argentina. And if you think US deals are wild, try negotiating international transactions while governments are in turmoil!

I've recently transitioned to transaction coaching, recognizing that much of my time was spent delving into the psychology of deals. I was even called an "expensive therapist" by a legal client! I serve as a sounding board and advisor to clients going through the emotional roller coaster of high-stakes transactions, keeping my clients true to their end goals and values in that chaos.

Now, I'm thrilled to share my expertise with you. Join me at "Unlocking Your Startup Toolbox: Mastering the Mix of Funding Tools for Success" in the Money Track, where I'll explain the variety of funding options available to startups (it's not just loans and VCs) and how to navigate the funding maze, drawing from my own wild deal experiences and those of others. Let's explore actionable insights together and pave the way for your startup's success.

And don't miss me in the Fun Track at "The Ultimate Entrepreneurial Challenge: Pivot, Balance, Succeed" where we'll put entrepreneurial skills to the test in a completely different way!

Oh, and when I'm not coaching clients through transformational deals, you can find me exploring the Western Slope, capturing moments through my lens, or lost in a good book. Let's connect, learn, and thrive together in Colorado's vibrant startup community!
