The Founder
Cliff founded Skybound Capital with a clear belief: “If it can be imagined, it can be done.”
That mindset still drives the way we think, grow, and lead.
He was known for his unconventional thinking and a sharp instinct for opportunity. Cliff saw value where others didn’t, often approaching challenges from unexpected angles. His eccentricity wasn’t a quirk – it was a strength that shaped Skybound’s distinctive path into private credit and other private market investments. Today, we carry his vision forward. The principles he lived by continue to guide us, as we grow the business on the strong base he established.
