I help people
engage with
the art world.

You need to reach someone in the art world and you're not sure who to call or how to frame it.

Maybe it's a curator for a corporate collection. A collector you want to meet. An institution you want to partner with. A gallerist, a cultural producer, a board member at a museum. I've spent over a decade building relationships across the art market: at Sotheby's, at San Francisco Ballet, through programming in Cairo and across the Bay Area. I can find the right path in. I know how to frame it when we get there.

You're running an arts organization and the infrastructure isn't keeping up with the vision.

I build the systems that enable organizations to function. At Divvy Homes I joined as the first operations hire and scaled infrastructure across 19 markets and 12,000+ customers from Series A to Series D. I've served as Interim COO at Empora Title, built QC and delivery infrastructure at Filmhub, and advised Venue Pilot on operations in the live entertainment space. I build the infrastructure that lets creative organizations focus on their work.

Cultural organizations stall when their vision outpaces their infrastructure. I know how to close that gap.

You're trying to engage with the art world seriously and need someone who speaks both languages.

I've spent my whole career at the crossroads of these two worlds. MBA at Stanford GSB alongside a Certificate in Social Innovation. International economics and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins. Visual studies at Harvard. None of it is accidental. When you need someone who can work in both rooms, this is what that looks like.

I work with arts organizations that need strategic support, and with companies and individuals that want to engage with the art world. I know both well enough to help each navigate the other.

You want to build something that brings people together around culture and you need someone who can design it and run it.

The arts get richer when more people are part of them. I build programming that makes that happen: events and partnerships that bring new people into the art world and give them a reason to stay. I've been doing this at San Francisco Ballet's Young Patrons Circle, through San Francisco Has [No] Culture, and across the Bay Area arts community for years.

The Gala is one night. I'm thinking about the whole year.
