My foundation is operating, not consulting. Over 13 years I founded, scaled, and ran multiple ventures across hospitality, retail, and e-commerce, including four restaurants, a skincare brand, and a kids' apparel company. I launched my largest hospitality venture through the onset of the 2020 economic disruption, which sharpened my view on cash discipline, resilient operations, and the difference between businesses that survive a shock and businesses that get crushed by one. To deepen my understanding of structured sales and modern buyer psychology, I transitioned into high-ticket luxury sales at Mercedes-Benz, where I learned how disciplined process and consistency create premium client experiences. That blend of independent operator grit and structured corporate sales is the lens I bring to every capital and exit conversation.
