Ability to handle and debate common valuation challenges arising from our private company investments. For example, this may include any discounts for lack of marketability, and interpreting the impact of preference terms, “ratchet” rights, treatment of stock-based compensation, or other deal specific differentiating features of private company transactions. Leadership Activities: As a subject matter expert on our valuation process, it is expected that the individual will be able to operate within the framework of the role independently and initiate suggestions or improvements to the process when appropriate. The role could also include participation in presentations, conferences, or meetings to improve and communicate our private company valuation process.
