Hi, I’m Michele.

I am a public company director, entrepreneur, technology founder, and Master of Wine with a passion for helping organizations create value through customer insight, innovation, and thoughtful leadership.

“Expertise has tremendous value, but only when it is accessible. Technology has the power to make that expertise available to everyone.”

Exploring the intersection of leadership, technology, premium brands, hospitality, and consumer experience.

I help companies translate customer insight, innovation, and technology into sustainable growth and long-term value creation. Across board, executive, and entrepreneurial roles, I bring a commercial perspective on how organizations can leverage their expertise, brands, partnerships, and capabilities to create better customer experiences, unlock new opportunities for growth, and build enduring value.

Throughout my career, I have worked across premium brands, consumer businesses, digital platforms, software, hospitality, and emerging technologies. While the industries have varied, a common theme has remained: understanding how businesses can better serve their customers while creating sustainable growth and long-term value.

Having lived and worked across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, I bring a global perspective shaped by experiences ranging from billion-dollar technology businesses and public company boardrooms to entrepreneurial ventures and luxury brands. Today, I continue to work with organizations across the United States, France, and other international markets.

As a Master of Wine, I am part of a small global community recognized for expertise in one of the world's most complex and culturally significant industries. The discipline required to achieve that qualification reinforced a lesson that continues to shape my work: expertise has tremendous value, but only when it can be effectively shared, applied, and scaled.

What fascinates me most is how technology can make expertise more accessible. Across industries, consumers increasingly seek guidance, personalization, and confidence in their decisions. At the same time, organizations face growing pressure to deliver expert experiences consistently and at scale. I believe the greatest opportunity lies in combining deep human knowledge with technology, data, and thoughtful design to help people make better decisions and create more meaningful experiences.

This perspective influences everything I do—from my board work and entrepreneurial ventures to my interest in hospitality, travel, and consumer behavior. I am particularly drawn to businesses that leverage expertise, strong brands, and innovation to create enduring value for customers, employees, shareholders, and society.

This site brings together my perspectives across leadership, technology, premium brands, wine, hospitality, and travel, along with selected experiences and ideas that continue to influence how I think, learn, and lead.
