Embedded advisory for CEOs and boards makinghigh-stakes decisions under pressure.

Strategic operational clarity, disciplined execution, and credible signal aligned to real outcomes.

Operating Formation

OG's work is informed by experience across institutional finance, operating leadership, and capital allocation. He began his career in institutional investing, culminating in managing a $250M portfolio, before spending over a decade running and scaling operating businesses.

Between 2011 and 2021, he led two companies from approximately $40M to $140M in revenue, adding more than $100M in organic growth.

Since 2021, his focus has been at the intersection of capital, technology, and culture — as a managing partner at 452B, an investor in emerging systems, and a creator and collector in the contemporary art world.

Personal formation

Executive formation and approach

Raised in Toronto in a Caribbean household as one of four brothers, OG's early environment emphasized responsibility, independence, and earned trust — qualities that shaped his approach to decision-making.

He studied economics and philosophy at Duke University, earned the CFA charter, and completed his MBA at Columbia University — training that deepened his judgment under uncertainty and complex systems thinking.

His advisory work draws directly from lived operating responsibility — not frameworks — and is built for leaders facing real constraints, irreversible decisions, and public consequences.

Operating Principles

Truth
Prioritize what is observable and real over what is comfortable or convenient.
Steadiness
Operate from a calm baseline — not urgency, fear, or adrenaline.
Agency
Retain ownership of decisions, actions, and outcomes.
Craft
Value precision, process, and skill built through repetition.
Clarity
Reduce complexity until the underlying structure is visible and actionable.

These principles are not aspirational. They are enforced.
