About our CEO
I’m a Los Angeles native whose journey has always followed the pulse of culture, creativity, and innovation. After graduating from junior high in L.A., my parents moved our family to San Francisco to plant a non-profit. Soon after, I completed high school in the heart of Silicon Valley just as it was transforming into the global hub of technology and entrepreneurship.
My first passion was sound and film. I specialized in recording albums and producing short films in professional studios. But when the studio I worked at shut down, I realized I wasn’t in Hollywood the center of entertainment was in Silicon Valley, the center of technological innovation, venture capital, and high-tech corporations. It’s the global hub for companies like Apple, Google, and Meta, as well as a world-renowned location for startups, innovation, and investment in new technologies. That realization reshaped my path.
By the late ’90s, I shifted my focus from computer science to the business side of the tech industry. I began acquiring digital assets early on, recognizing their long-term value. Today, I own 80% of the digital assets in my industry.
From there, I joined a startup, helping secure funding from angel investors along Sand Hill Road in Palo Alto, presenting corporate business plans to investors who were actively shaping the future of tech. By 2004, I was deeply immersed in the “Valley buzz” seeing how Sean Parker advised Mark Zuckerberg, and learning how timing, vision, and networks influenced the rise of iconic companies.
In my early 20s, I attended expos and keynote presentations in San Jose such as the early “e-business conferences”—where industry leaders shared strategies and where I often heard stories of mergers and acquisitions circulating through the community before they ever appeared in the news. On some nights, I even found myself at the Silicon Valley Capital Club, where free-entry evenings enticed young entrepreneurs like me to experience the atmosphere of high-level networking usually reserved for members paying hefty monthly fees.
By 2008, I was fully immersed in the culture of innovation, hearing announcements firsthand—like Microsoft’s $44.6 billion bid to acquire Yahoo—that reflected how quickly the landscape was shifting.
With over 30 years of business development experience through the rise and evolution of Silicon Valley, I’ve learned one thing clearly: a well-defined brand is one of the most powerful assets any company can have. To me, brand is more than a name it’s an identity, a culture, and a long-term driver of business value.
I’m passionate about partnering with leaders who understand this truth and want to build brands that don’t just succeed in the marketplace but stand the test of time.
