About Me

I've lived and worked across cultures, built ventures, sold a startup, worked and invested in real estate and other markets (Stocks and Cryptocurrency) — learning from both successes and failures along the way.

I bring a unique blend of intelligence, charm, and life experience. Educated at an English boarding school and leading business schools such as Rotterdam School of Management, Bocconi University, and CUHK Business School, I bring both global perspective and intellectual depth. Over the years I've lived in the UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Indonesia, and traveled to more than 40 countries.

Even though I am only in my thirties, I have already experienced more than many people do in a lifetime — from building businesses and navigating global cultures, to facing personal loss and finding resilience.

In 2023, I lost my closest friend and co-founder unexpectedly — an experience that shook me deeply and forced me to pause. Out of this pain came resilience, a deeper search for meaning, and an expanded interest in psychology, mental health, philosophy, and the human experience.

My interests are as broad as my experiences — spanning business, fashion, investing, startups, psychology, fitness & wellness, biohacking, sports, travel, art & design, literature, culture and more.

I combine athletic performance (fitness, tennis, padel, badminton, beachvolleyball, golf...) with personal depth — carried by a calm yet curious energy.

This balance — between performance and lightness, success and hardship — allows me to connect with people not only through energy and ideas, but also through authenticity, reflection and presence. Beyond achievement and status, we all seek moments of connection, joy and authenticity — and that is where I come in.

"I've never had a conversation like this before."
"This is exactly what I needed — even if I didn't know it beforehand."

Philosophy

True luxury is not about things — it's about experiences and connections. Life is not only about success – it's about balance, depth, and lightness.

I bring new energy, style, and ideas, while creating space for joy, ease, and authentic connection.

With me, it's never about "coaching" or "programs." It's about being a sparring partner and lifestyle companion – someone who inspires, shares, and uplifts, while making life feel both meaningful and effortless. This is why I only take on full-day commitments, because true presence and connection need space. I don't believe in rushing human connection or cutting depth into hourly slots.

Rates

My services are bespoke, designed to cater to each client's unique desires and needs. I only accept full-day or multi-day/week arrangements, as my philosophy is to devote myself entirely to the person in front of me. True immersion and connection cannot happen if other appointments, meetings, or obligations are lingering in the background. This approach also allows for inspiring and meaningful conversations to naturally unfold—moments that can easily be lost or constrained by strict time limits.

Before any arrangement, I always suggest at least a video call—or ideally an in-person meeting if our current locations allow for it—so we can get to know each other and see if we truly connect and our energies align. It's also the perfect opportunity to ask questions, share expectations, and discuss any particular focus or goals you may have.
