Hi, I’m Michele. I work at the intersection of luxury, hospitality, and technology—helping businesses evolve how consumers discover, experience, and engage.
The work that I really love doing is building and scaling businesses.
“Growth comes from solving meaningful problems for customers—often through thoughtful technology innovation.”
Across my career, I have built and scaled companies, advised global brands, and served on boards in sectors where experience, brand, and consumer connection matter most. My work brings together a global perspective across wine, travel, and hospitality, alongside deep expertise in digital platforms and emerging technologies. While much of my career has been based in the United States, I now work with global businesses across both the U.S. and France. You can explore more in the Business Leadership, Wine and Hospitality, and News sections of this site, as well as on Linked-In.
As a Master of Wine, I am part of a small global community recognized for expertise in one of the world’s most complex and culturally significant industries. Through this lens, I have seen firsthand how consumer behavior is evolving—towards more experiential, personalized, and digitally enabled interactions.
What continues to shape my work is a clear shift: consumers are no longer simply purchasing products—they are seeking discovery, guidance, and meaningful experiences. This creates both opportunity and urgency for businesses to rethink how they engage.
I focus on how technology can enhance—not replace—expertise. Whether in wine, travel, or hospitality, the opportunity lies in combining deep knowledge with intuitive, well-designed experiences that help consumers explore with confidence. As co-founder of Thirsty Logic, I am applying this thinking to hospitality—helping restaurants and dining venues deliver expert drinks recommendations, elevate the guest experience, and unlock higher-margin revenue streams.
Alongside my operating work, I serve as a Non-Executive Director, bringing a pragmatic and forward-looking perspective shaped by experience across public and private companies. I am particularly interested in how thoughtful, purpose-driven leadership can build businesses that deliver enduring value.
This site brings together my perspectives across wine, technology, travel, and hospitality—as well as selected experiences and ideas that continue to shape how I think and work. I hope you enjoy exploring.
