Advisory

Strategic Advisory for AI, Hospitality & Operator-Led Growth

I advise founders, technology companies, and operators building at the intersection of AI, hospitality, and real estate. The perspective comes from doing the work — building and deploying AI systems, operating a multi-state portfolio, and advising the vendors and platforms I use every day. Every recommendation is grounded in what actually ships, scales, and holds up inside real operations.
