I grew up in Geneva, Switzerland, and have been at the forefront of the watch industry for the past 15 years. Throughout my career, I have facilitated growth opportunities across five continents and served as a leading industry expert, business consultant, advisor, and speaker, with deep horological experience across various facets of the luxury industry. 

In my early 20s, I began my career at prestigious watch marketplaces in New York City including private-equity-backed White Pine and Circa - and Sotheby’s Jewelry and Watch Ecommerce division, where I honed my skills in how to buy, sell, price, authenticate, and negotiate on the iconic 47th street. Relocating to San Francisco, I spearheaded the launch and management of the newly opened Luxury Consignment Office for The RealReal (REAL) - one of the largest luxury Ecommerce companies in the world - where I was responsible for scaling the Jewelry and Watches department. During my tenure, the company raised $300M and IPO’d in 2019. 

Leveraging my expertise, I later founded a company focused on unlocking growth opportunities within the luxury sector through strategic marketing, partnerships, and storytelling. Based in Singapore, my clients ranged from start-ups to large multinational brands including companies across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and APAC. I was brought back into the auction world when I was appointed as the Head of the Watch Department for Chicago-based Freeman’s | Hindman, one of the fastest-growing auction houses. During my leadership, I achieved a 5X growth in 24 months, broke multiple company and industry records, and was instrumental in securing key watch collections from top collectors. I currently serve as the Watch Advisor for The Fine Art Group, the leading firm for watch investment, advisory, sales strategy and appraisal.

Throughout my broad experience across the industry, I developed a keen eye on the next generation of watch collectors, and the evolving dynamics that will influence the industry. My deep-rooted insights and global perspective have garnered recognition in leading publications including JCK, Robb Report, JWC Media Group, Forbes, Sheridan Road, WatchPro, and Hodinkee.

I earned a BA in International Relations from the University of Denver and hold a Graduate Gemologist degree (G.G.) from the Gemological Institute of America. I have previously lived in Geneva, New York, San Francisco, Barcelona, Singapore, Bangkok, Buenos Aires, Medellin, and Sydney. I am fluent in French, Spanish, and English and live in San Francisco, California.
