I bring structured solutions at speed for small, high-brainpower and high-horsepower businesses.

Big companies, small companies.

UK, US, pan-European and global companies.

Real estate, investment, media, digital, travel.

Finance, marketing, technology, HR.

With a background in strategy, planning, business development and operations, I’m a ‘generalist’ T-shaped executive with experience in and with a range of industries, markets, teams and business models.

Half US-American and half Spanish, longtime London resident and conversational French speaker. I’m comfortable in lots of environments. I thrive on challenges and threading the needle to delivery.
