Base

I've spent 30 years building things that last and the common thread in all of it has been relationships. I co-founded 433, which became one of the biggest football media brands in the world. Then BALR., a fashion label that turned athletes into brand builders. Neither of those happened because we had the best product on day one. They happened because of the right people, in the right rooms, at the right time. That's what I do. I connect industries, continents, and mindsets. Sports, media, retail, fashion, tech, and Web3. I've built in all of them, and I've built a network across all of them. Today I run Arena Ventures, an advisory and investment firm at the intersection of sports, culture, media, and technology. I'm also an investor and advisor at Relik, an authentication platform protecting the provenance of high-value assets. And I run a boutique consulting practice for business owners doing between €5M and €25M a year who want to use my network and experience to scale faster. I'm based in Dubai. I don't work with many clients at a time. I go deep, not wide. If you're building something at the intersection of sports, media, culture, Web3, and business or you want access to a network I've spent three decades building, let's talk.
