I’m a founder, operator, and business development strategist with nearly 20 years of experience building and scaling consumer brands through thoughtful partnerships, positioning, and long-term execution. I co-founded and co-owned Locali, an innovative, health-forward QSR brand that helped pioneer better-for-you fast casual dining well before it became mainstream. Over nearly a decade and a half, I was deeply involved in shaping the brand, navigating growth, and building the relationships that sustained and expanded the business over time. Building on that foundation, I’ve gone on to lead business development, partnerships, and sponsorship strategy for experiential and wellness ventures, including Global Sound Bath and Resonance. In these roles, I design partnership ecosystems across brands, venues, media, and collaborators, helping founders translate vision into clear, monetize-worthy partnership opportunities without compromising brand integrity. I also co-founded QUALITY, a premium matchmaking and dating strategy company, where I built high-ticket offers and referral partnerships that convert trust-based relationships into predictable revenue. Across all of my work, I focus on clarity, positioning, and deal structures that actually move the business forward. As a coach, I work with founders and operators who want practical, senior-level guidance on partnerships, business development, and growth strategy. Clients come to me for real-world pattern recognition, thoughtful execution, and support that balances ambition with sustainability.
