With decades of high-level executive experience spanning multi-property hospitality ownership, large-scale corporate operations, and sports management, I bring a rare blend of strategic oversight, operational discipline, and deep empathy to the estate and executor advisory space. Having managed large teams—including overseeing hundreds of staff as a general manager for McDonald’s corporate operations—and successfully owned and operated four freehold hotels and a resort, I am exceptionally well-equipped to handle high-stakes environments, complex logistics, and sensitive family dynamics. Furthermore, my lifelong passion for legal studies underpins my rigorous approach to navigating estate administration challenges. Working closely in tandem with financial advisory practices, I help bridge the gap between technical planning and practical execution for families during major life transitions.
