BIO
Being a “numbers guy”, I believe strongly in the statement, “Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement", from H. James Harrington.
An economist with global experience, I provide strategic advice and thought leadership, with particular expertise in management of the provision of professional services, as well as in business planning of specific projects in leisure/hospitality, mixed-use, and sports/entertainment. I prioritize teamwork, client goals, and robust analyses to increase return and reduce risk.
My specific project clients include private developers/operators, not-for-profits, and public agencies. I excel at complex projects requiring a combination of strategic thinking, broad yet rigorous analysis, coordination with multiple stakeholders, streamlining of findings for diverse audiences, and disciplined management.
