About me
With 17 years in the hospitality industry, I spent five of those managing high profile relationships at the prestigious Carlyle Hotel in New York City. Throughout my career, I have overseen, owned, and consulted for various establishments spanning restaurants, bars, clubs, and hotels. I’ve also forged strategic partnerships with key venues in New York, leveraging these alliances to drive revenue through innovative promotional events. My collaborations with esteemed brands such as Red Bull, Pernod Ricard, InBev, Diageo, Brown-Forman, and Bacardi Limited have been instrumental in enhancing brand visibility and profitability. My expertise lies in repositioning and rebranding these entities, crafting strategies to optimize operations and profitability. I have successfully raised equity and debt while orchestrating the takeover and transformation of underperforming establishments, with the aim of eventual resale or sustainable revenue streams.
For the past decade, I’ve consistently executed a strategy centered on identifying underperforming properties, raising capital for acquisition, and renovating them for resale. My portfolio spans across the Hudson Valley in NY, encompassing multifamily and single-family assets.
Since 2019, I have been spearheading a global consultancy specializing in strategic growth through business development and private capital facilitation. My consultancy serves small to medium-sized business owners, investors, developers, and entrepreneurs, offering customized solutions for sustainable growth and success.
Drive Revenue. Outside of that I work with people and projects that interest me.
I’m a business development and sales expert. I’ve owned, operated and consulted with small to midsize businesses for my entire professional life. I live and breathe business. I bet you do too…
Our Fees
Everything we do is performance based. This means there are no up front fees and our success is directly tied to yours.
There is zero risk.
Referral Only
I only work with a few clients at a time and typically they are referred to me. Outside of that I take on special projects from time to time.

Diving into Real Estate: Strategies for Success
Transitioning into real estate investing, I applied the same strategy which was identifying underperforming properties, raising capital for acquisition, and revitalizing them for
increased value. My portfolio spans across the Hudson Valley, encompassing multifamily and single-family properties, along with a fix-and-flip business and an internal acquisition team targeting distressed properties in Rockland and Orange counties, NY.

The Process
It starts with a conversation.
To begin, we initiate a detailed conversation to understand your business’s origins, objectives, and vision. Following that, we gain a comprehensive understanding of your goals and future aspirations. This leads us to obtain a full panoramic view of the business by examining personnel, operations, systems, processes, logistics, revenue streams, income, expenses, challenges, and performance metrics. We then identify competitors and analyze the future of the industry. Additionally, we explore opportunities for expansion while concurrently reducing costs and eliminating inefficiencies. Throughout this process, we uncover new opportunities and formulate a plan to build new revenue streams while cultivating and developing key relationships and strategic partnerships for the purpose of expansion.

The Program
This service is tailored for emerging entrepreneurs, less experienced operators, smaller investors and growing companies. Whether you’re just starting out, feeling stuck, or lacking resources to advance, we provide solutions. We create customized roadmaps, strategies, and implement systems and processes to propel you forward and achieve your goals.
Our fees vary for each situation as no two are alike. Typically, we require an upfront fee to ensure commitment from your end. Alternatively, we may opt for equity or profit sharing in your company, or a combination of these arrangements. The key is your commitment and investment in both your business and personal growth.
We operate on a sliding scale, breaking projects into phases to align with your investment capabilities. This incremental approach allows you to witness progress and results step by step on your journey towards your goals. From inception to completion, we meticulously outline the plan, detailing what will be delivered and when. Our ultimate objective is to cultivate a well-capitalized, optimized business that operates efficiently while maximizing profitability.
The primary risk lies in the initial upfront investment, but thereafter, the return on investment is evident at every step. The results consistently justify the expenditure. We ensure the process is manageable and realistic, fostering a long-term partnership with you. Ultimately, our aim is to become your trusted financial partner.
