Leadership Team

Seven practices, each led by Devan McLaren alongside the partner who specialises in that sector. Below is who they are and what they have done.

Triple Beam Advisors
Practice Lead — All Seven Practices

Devan McLaren founded Triple Beam Advisors on a straightforward premise: that the quality of financial advice should not depend on the size of the company receiving it. He works across every practice the firm runs, and sits on the transaction side of engagements regardless of which sector they originate in.

His advisory practice is built on a foundation established through DJM Consultancy, which he has led as Principal since 2018. Over the course of his career, Devan has been instrumental in underwriting and advising on transactions with an aggregate value exceeding $1 billion — encompassing debt, private and public equity, and M&A across multiple asset classes and industries including Real Estate, Consumer Products, Healthcare, and Emerging Markets.

Prior to founding DJM Consultancy, Devan served as a Senior Analyst with the Fiore Group, where he specialized in Private Equity and Venture Capital investments across real estate, entertainment, energy, technology, and retail sectors.

Devan leads all seven of the firm’s practices — cannabis, transaction support, real estate, Indigenous advisory, operating businesses and employee ownership and consumer packaged goods — working alongside the specialist partner on each.

Eduardo Cabral

Eduardo Cabral

Associate Partner &
Director of Partnerships
Baltimore, Maryland
Cannabis · Employee Ownership

Eduardo Cabral is the firm’s sector specialist for cannabis and employee ownership, working alongside Devan McLaren on both practices. He joined as the firm’s first U.S. hire and built its American market presence.

Earlier in his career, Eduardo was a core contributor at Bengal Capital, where he supported over $200 million in transactions across seed stage, growth equity, and hedge fund strategies. Bengal Capital’s portfolio included some of the cannabis industry’s most recognized names — Green Thumb Industries, Grassroots, Holistic Wellness, and Jetty Extracts. That experience gave Eduardo an inside view of what institutional cannabis investors look for, how deals get done, and how operators can best position themselves for capital.

Following his tenure in private equity, Eduardo pivoted toward social impact, supporting the largest worker-owned home healthcare business on the West Coast and consulting on employee-ownership conversions for businesses across multiple sectors. This work deepened his expertise in cooperative finance, ESOP structuring, and stakeholder-aligned capital structures — a skillset that has become increasingly relevant as cannabis operators seek to build durable, employee-engaged businesses.

A Harvard graduate, Eduardo brings analytical rigor and a network spanning cannabis operators, institutional investors, and social-impact capital providers across the United States. He is based in Baltimore, Maryland, and leads Triple Beam’s U.S. partnership development and client origination.

Vinny Jawanda

Vinny Jawanda

Director
Calgary, Alberta
Real Estate · Indigenous Advisory

Vinny Jawanda is the firm’s sector specialist for real estate and Indigenous advisory, working alongside Devan McLaren on both practices, and as Director drives execution and client delivery firm-wide.

He began in the construction materials sector, participating in multiple successful mid-market transactions, before moving into insurance M&A where he executed bolt-on acquisitions and sharpened his expertise in financial modeling, regulatory literacy, and deal structuring. He subsequently transitioned into real estate development with one of Calgary’s leading high-rise developers, working on landmark office-to-residential conversion projects and multi-family developments requiring deep expertise in feasibility analysis and capital structuring.

In real estate, Vinny has been instrumental in the underwriting and advisory of over $6.4 billion CAD in development projects across Canada — working with some of the country’s largest developers on multifamily, commercial, mixed-use, and large-scale master-planned developments. He brings the same institutional rigor to the U.S. cannabis sector, where he works extensively with operators across retail, cultivation, and manufacturing — building the financial models and analytical frameworks that drive valuations, transaction advisory, and capital raises.

He has also led financial analysis and feasibility modeling for economic development initiatives with Indigenous communities across Canada — work that reflects both his analytical depth and his commitment to equitable, community-aligned investment.
