About
My background crosses institutional finance, company building, digital assets, luxury retail, fine art, and complex physical operations. The common thread is translating an idea for demanding people, then building the relationships and systems required to deliver it.
I hold a BA in English from Suffolk University and completed postgraduate studies at Yale School of Management focused on international finance and investment analysis and management, earning distinction. I’m fluent in Spanish and conversational in French, and I’m based in Miami Beach.
