I’m in tune with culture from the east coast of The United States to the west coast of Africa. From Gen-Z to Me. From hip-hop to soca. From art to fashion. From streetwear to luxury. The cultures that I’ve grown up in and immersed myself in as an adult are rooted in my unapologetic desire to represent my race and understand its influence in both safe and unfamiliar spaces on a global platform.

I’ve built my career around connecting consumers with products and services that align with their needs, wants, and unknown desires. From off-price to luxury. From traditional department stores to tech-enabled platforms. From heritage brands to brands of tomorrow. I bring commercial value and innovation to organizations through a distinguished understanding of the current and future global retail and luxury industries and its consumers.
I believe that we all bring something unique and specific to the worlds in which we operate. These are mine. What are yours?
