From Strategic Giving to Unforgettable Experiences, We Deliver Results
Three Pathways to Transformative Impact
Our expertise spans the worlds of philanthropy and adventure, offering tailored solutions for high-net-worth individuals and finance leaders. Here’s how we help you achieve your goals:
Service 1: Philanthropic Strategy Design
We craft bespoke giving plans that align with your values, wealth management goals, and desired legacy. Whether you’re establishing a family foundation, optimizing donor-advised funds, or seeking high-impact charities, we turn intention into measurable outcomes. Your generosity deserves precision.
Service 2: Impact Investment Curation
Move beyond traditional donations. We identify social impact investments and nonprofits delivering quantifiable returns—whether in education, climate tech, or global health. Our proprietary Impact Alignment Matrix™ evaluates opportunities against your financial objectives and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Service 3: Executive Sailing Retreats
Recharge and network aboard luxury yachts in the Greek Isles. These curated voyages blend peer-led discussions on ESG trends with adventure—think sunrise strategy sessions followed by afternoon snorkeling in hidden coves. Exclusively for CFOs, fund managers, and senior finance professionals.

Where Expertise Meets Innovation
With 15+ years advising ultra-high-net-worth donors and Fortune 500 foundations, I bridge the gap between philanthropy and wealth management. My approach combines rigorous analysis with deep empathy—because impactful giving isn’t just about writing checks; it’s about crafting legacies.
For sailing retreats, I partner with seasoned captains and hospitality experts to create voyages that inspire both collaboration and rejuvenation. This isn’t a vacation—it’s a strategic reset.
