“Deep domain expertise is one of an organization's most valuable strategic assets. My passion is helping unlock its value.”
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 organizations can leverage these strategic assets to strengthen customer relationships, differentiate themselves 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 translate insight into sustainable commercial success.
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 one of an organization's most valuable strategic assets—but only when it can be codified, shared, scaled, and applied to create value.
What fascinates me most is the opportunity to combine human expertise with artificial intelligence. Across industries, organizations possess extraordinary knowledge that often remains trapped within individuals, teams, and processes. I believe one of the greatest opportunities of the AI era is transforming that expertise into scalable intelligence that improves decision-making, enhances customer experiences, and creates lasting competitive advantage.
This perspective 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.
