Sunil K. Aggarwal

Founder, ThinkForward Financial

Financing is problem-solving, says Sunil Aggarwal. He realized more than two decades ago that New York’s nonprofits and small businesses would excel in a competitive market using solution-based project financial planning. In 2009, “ThinkForward” became the working model for an advisory dedicated to helping small and mid-sized enterprises navigate the funding challenges inherent to mission oriented organizations. To-date, Sunil’s practice has structured and placed $2.5B in bonds, loans, and tax credits, specifically for this unique segment of companies. Sunil’s experiences as Vice President of the NYC Economic Development Corp. (1990-1997) and later as a senior investment banker (1999-2008) provided early exposure to a wide range of development financing tools. Through the years, Sunil has maintained and expanded relationships with NY economic development agencies, banks, bond and tax credit equity investors, and community development lenders—contributing to the long-term viability and success of hundreds of NY nonprofits. Sunil holds an MS in Quantitative Finance from Carnegie Mellon University and an MBA in Finance from the University of Manchester. He is an SEC and MSRB Registered Municipal Advisor and a Registered Rep with A. Bridge RealVest Securities Corp (broker-dealer), and he holds FINRA Series 7, 50, and 63 licenses.
