Bio: For 20 years, I’ve helped organizations—Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, city governments, and global networks—build brands that resonate with real people and create real impact. My work blends brand strategy, narrative design, youth culture expertise, and inclusive economic thinking to unlock new pathways for growth. My doctoral studies in economics explore inclusive growth, innovation ecosystems, and the future of work through a cultural and economic lens. This dual perspective—creative and analytical—allows me to help brands and cities shape strategies that are not only visionary but viable.
