ABOUT
I’m a specialist at being a generalist.
And 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
And created billions in enterprise value

The studio keeps me building. But the right room could pull me in full-time: a consequential problem and a team whose ambition matches it, with brand and creative at the leadership table. If that's the kind of room you're building, tell me about it.
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.
If you're building one of those, let's talk.
