02 Position

I make things that didn't exist before — sometimes a software platform, sometimes a beauty brand, sometimes a live event so loud the room remembers it for a year.

Most days I'm running operations across seven brands and an AI infrastructure that automates content, commerce and community at scale. Some days I'm at a console with a pair of headphones around my neck, making sure the dance floor catches fire on cue.

The thread is the same. Pay attention to the people in the room. Build the thing they didn't know they needed. Ship it loud.

05 On the Mic

I speak when I have something to say.

Topics: AI-driven business operations · the future of beauty as software · running multi-brand portfolios · live events as the last unfakeable medium · bootstrapping in chaotic categories.

Past stages: Ignite, Draper University, Rich Stylist Academy summits, private masterminds. Not on a tour. Not chasing the circuit. I'll come if it matters to the room.
