03 / EXPERIENCE

BUILT FOR THE PROBLEMS THAT MATTER.

Corporate and growth strategy leader working at the intersection of financial services, sports, entertainment, and consumer. I turn ambiguity into direction, align the people who need to move together, and help ambitious organizations build what is next.

A strategic operator, not just a strategist

WHERE COMPLEXITY MEETS MOMENTUM.

I have advised global banks, sports leagues, leading media and streaming businesses, and consumer brands on the questions that shape their next chapter: where to play, how to win, and what it takes to execute. My work pairs analytical rigor with clear executive storytelling, practical operating discipline, and a bias toward outcomes that last.
