ABOUT
I've spent my career refusing to pick one. Not out of stubbornness, but because the labels stopped describing the work, and were designed to appeal to an ATS versus allow the most complete portrait of the individual to emerge.
I leaned into the range. A specialist at being a generalist.
That's why I call myself a Creative Capitalist.
It's a framing grounded in a simple belief: creativity is the world's most valuable asset class — one I deploy to de-risk the enterprise and build strategy, story, brands, teams, momentum, and systems that scale.
My work has:
Built categories • Won elections • Reduced depression • Engineered safeguards • Launched products • Designed medicine • Raised capital • Scaled organizations • Created billions in enterprise value.
This site documents the arc. Twenty-five years refining pattern recognition under pressure in volatile markets — where calm clarity is leverage.
I’m now looking to apply this leverage where it matters most — alongside ambitious teams solving consequential problems. If you're keen for an exploratory conversation or high-conviction meeting, let's chat.
Please enjoy.

After all this, I'm ready to commit to a single ambitious mission. I'm drawn to three kinds of rooms: building new companies inside a venture studio, transforming portfolio businesses for private equity, or leading brand and creative at an early-stage AI company serving consumer, health and longevity, media, or the creator economy.
Different shapes, one through-line: High stakes, real ambiguity, and a brand that has to be built, not maintained. If you're building one of those, let's talk.
