Luxury-level thinking for founders and CEOs who want clarity, not noise.
Twenty years inside CHANEL, across the P&L and the shop floor, a rare dual fluency now at the core of the practice. The discipline of a billion-dollar finance function and the instinct of a front-line commercial leader.
Commercial and fiscal architecture for consumer brands scaling out of Asia. Performance, decision rights, and capital readiness installed into around fifteen founder businesses worldwide.
Twenty years spent above the numbers, not beneath them.
Over $1b in revenue, responsible for over 750 doors and managed over 500 people. The habits that came out of that are the ones now pointed at your business.
Three domains. Three engagement modes. One operating standard.
Performance Architecture
Build a calmer, more profitable operating system: margin discipline, pricing logic, weekly cadence, five-number scoreboard.
Founder Advisory
A thinking partnership for decisions, alignment, and pressure. Decision-rights charters and an ongoing advisory rhythm.
Capital & CFO Support
Investor-readable artefacts and ongoing CFO discipline. We do not introduce founders to investors, we make them ready to be introduced.
Most founders choose their structure by accident.
A holding company opened where the first investor was. An IP licence sitting where a lawyer once suggested. A residence that followed a lifestyle decision. Each choice was reasonable on its own. Together they become a structure nobody designed, and the cost of that arrives at the moment you raise, sell or expand. I am not your tax adviser in any of these places. My job is to hold the whole structure in view, know the question each jurisdiction is going to ask, and run the licensed specialists who answer it.
Structure is a commercial decision with tax consequences. Making it deliberate rather than accidental is usually worth more than any single planning idea applied afterwards.
Coordination, commercial judgement and the financial model by us. Formal tax opinions and filings by licensed specialists in each jurisdiction. ADIT candidate, December 2026.
Revenue growth is the most effective camouflage for operational dysfunction.
Your numbers stop being a record.
They start being an instrument. That is the entire distance between bookkeeping and command, and most businesses never cross it.
Choose by the size of the question.
