What are your areas of expertise?

As a recognized thought leader and innovator in Web 3, the Metaverse, and entrepreneurship, I'm proud to be ranked among the top CEOs and Founders in the United States by Crunchbase. I have the privilege of leading Strong Interactive, the parent company of award-winning Web 3 brands such as Baller Mixed Reality and Bocazon. My journey as a social innovator has given me the opportunity to serve as a philanthropy advisor to pro athletes, entertainers, and business leaders, enabling us to build community initiatives that have positively impacted beneficiaries across the United States in social causes such as responsible fatherhood, afterschool programming, financial literacy, and empowerment through entrepreneurship.

What's your main motivation for being an advisor?

My main motivation for being an advisor is to leverage my experience and expertise to support new ventures tackling meaningful market challenges and/or non-profit initiatives aimed that address enduring social issues. In both domains, I've managed to foster the focused innovation and intellectual nuance necessary to establish crucial success factors, paving the way for extraordinary results.

What types of situations are you capable of advising on?

I have a knack for unravelling complex institutional problems, disrupting the status quo, and catalyzing high-growth and achievement. My capabilities lie in my ability to see beyond the ordinary factors and to envision a transformative future.

Do you see any disruptive trends on the horizon in your industry or position?

As a technologist, I understand that artificial intelligence will be a major game-changer across multiple verticals, and I believe that those who properly harness its power will be the winners, versus those who are fearful or run away from it. AI will shake the very fabric of society as we know it, and we must move very quickly to evolve alongside it or risk being replaced by it.

Tell me about the most impactful project or decision you've been involved in as an executive.

I have been fortunate to have several projects/initiatives recognized with awards for innovation and extraordinary impact, including “Mixed Reality Innovator of the Year” 2022/2023 (Corporate LiveWire), “Top Sports Brand Initiative” 2023 (American Metaverse Awards), “Most Pioneering NFT Collectibles Company” 2022 (Wealth & Finance Magazine), and "Startup of the Year" 2021 (Hackernoon). The non-profit initiatives I’ve advised have also been recognized by the National Basketball Association, Tulane University, the Association for Enterprise Opportunity, and others.
