David Lazar is currently a private investor who specializes in 'Turnaround Situations' of distressed Nasdaq & NYSE companies. He focuses on companies whose market caps have eroded due to operational distress, leveraging deep sector knowledge to uncover latent valuation bridges.

David has been involved in the Capital Markets for over a decade.

He has diverse knowledge of financial, legal and operations management; public company management, accounting, private placements, audit preparation, capital raising, due diligence reviews, and SEC regulations.

David's approach is rooted in a contrarian philosophy — seeking out companies that Wall Street has abandoned, but where the underlying fundamentals or strategic assets still hold significant latent value. His track record spans over 13 public company investments across sectors including biotechnology, technology, consumer goods, and financial services.

Based in Panama City, Panama, David operates globally, with a particular focus on Nasdaq and NYSE-listed companies in the United States.
