Albert C. Liao

Raised in a family that values exploration and entrepreneurship, I inherited a passion for making a meaningful impact from my father, who took his dream of becoming an astronaut to leading expansion of businesses into new territories.

Observing his drive and the transformative positive impact entrepreneurship had on business owners, their families, and communities, I developed a deep appreciation for the grit and legacy that every business represents.

This passion has been a guiding force in my career. As a product leader at companies including Apple and Sony, I’ve spearheaded the concept-to-launch of ventures at the intersection of entertainment and technology, including Virtual Reality applications and streaming software. My experience also extends to growing small and medium-sized businesses, developing strategies, and managing teams across diverse industries. I’ve led teams of developers, sales professionals, and social media experts to successfully launch media projects, including music, on major streaming platforms.

After completing my MBA at Yale, I am focused on combining my extensive experience in product leadership and strategic business growth with my passion for entrepreneurship. I’m seeking to partner with a business owner transitioning to the next phase of their journey, helping ensure the continued success and growth of their company while honoring the legacy they’ve built.

Unlike traditional private equity or strategic buyers, whose acquisitions often lead to restructuring, my focus is on continuity. I will take on the day-to-day operations, committing to upholding the culture you've built, protecting your employees, and ensuring their ongoing success. With years of experience leading teams under both small and large firms, I bring a deep understanding of managing complex operations and driving sustainable growth.

If you’re interested in exploring a partnership, I’d love to connect!
