ABOUT
Every act of creation begins with an act of destruction.
I’ve always rejected the reductive labels the industry uses to organize talent - and turned versatility into a strategic advantage. Agencies. Enterprise. High-growth. Hard failures. From advising founders to carrying the risk. Each chapter has sharpened judgment and cultivated empathy.
That is 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. I’m taking exploratory conversations and high-conviction meetings.
