Bridging Finance and Culture

My journey began with a recognition that the best outcomes happen when founders and funds speak both investor and consumer languages fluently. Media and positioning don't just amplify—they fundamentally drive results.

The Intersection of Vision and Execution

Over the past four years, I've advised on more than $50 million in capital strategy across early-stage companies, private funds, and media-backed ventures. What started as helping founders refine their narratives evolved into a deeper understanding: the companies that win are those that master both financial credibility and cultural relevance.

My approach is rooted in clarity over complexity. Whether it's structuring investor positioning for a consumer brand, designing LP communications for a modern fund concept, or orchestrating high-end investor activations in jet hangars and on yachts, the common thread is substance over flash. Vision paired with disciplined execution.

The edge today lives where traditional financial rigor meets authentic cultural insight. I help founders and fund managers navigate this intersection, ensuring their narratives resonate with both sophisticated investors and target markets.
