Throughout my career as an executive, board director, and entrepreneur, I’ve helped organizations unlock the value of brands, customer insight, technology, partnerships, and deep domain expertise to create sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value. I bring a commercial perspective on how these assets can strengthen customer relationships, differentiate businesses in competitive markets, and create enduring value.

My experience spans premium brands, consumer businesses, digital platforms, software, hospitality, and AI-enabled technology. While the industries have varied, a common thread has remained: helping organizations better understand their customers, make better decisions, and turn insight into products, services, and experiences that people genuinely value.

Having lived and worked across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, I bring an international perspective shaped by leadership roles in billion-dollar consumer businesses, public company boardrooms, entrepreneurial ventures, and luxury brands. Today, I continue to work with organizations across the United States, France, and other international markets.

As a Master of Wine, I became part of a small global community recognized for expertise in one of the world's most complex industries. The discipline required to achieve that qualification reinforced a principle that continues to shape my work today: deep domain expertise is enormously valuable, but its potential grows when that knowledge can be shared, applied, and made accessible to others.

This is what fascinates me about the intersection of human expertise and artificial intelligence. Across industries, extraordinary knowledge often remains locked within individuals, teams, and organizations. I believe the real promise of AI lies in unlocking that knowledge and making it useful to more people—helping them make better decisions, discover new possibilities, and enjoy richer experiences, while enabling businesses to innovate, grow, and create lasting value.

I think of this as Artful Intelligence: combining the judgment, creativity, and experience of human experts with the analytical power and scale of artificial intelligence. Technology alone is rarely the answer. The opportunity lies in using it thoughtfully to amplify human capabilities, make exceptional expertise more accessible, and deliver better outcomes for both people and businesses.

This philosophy influences everything I do—from public company governance and AI ventures to hospitality, premium brands, and consumer behavior. I am particularly drawn to organizations that combine strong brands, customer insight, technology, and deep domain expertise to create enduring value for customers, employees, shareholders, and society.

This site brings together my perspectives on governance, artificial intelligence, premium brands, hospitality, travel, and the commercialization of deep domain expertise, together with selected experiences and ideas that continue to shape how I think, learn, and contribute.
