Fun fact: My LinkedIn isn't my resume. 

So don't come here looking to evaluate hiring me based on my LinkedIn. 

Or maybe you should look at my LinkedIn to realize I beautifully blend data and analytics with entertaining and educational storytelling. 

I always dreamed of being a television programmer. It never happened, so instead I live out my dream programming LinkedIn like my own TV channel. 

Over the past 5 years, I’ve logged 10,000+ hours on this platform. I’ve built a following of 100,000+ by programming my LinkedIn like my own TV channel. My content isn’t random. It’s strategic. Story-driven. Designed to drive real outcomes.

And it’s worked, generating $10M+ in deals for the companies I've worked. Read that one again. Not me, but my companies. The power of companies leveraging LinkedIn is the future of LinkedIn. 

In 2021, I launched a global  events company while working with a Mark Cuban and Ashton Kutcher startup, producing 40+ events in LA, NYC, Dubai, Paris, and London that drove millions of dollars in  revenue. I understand how to leverage LinkedIn so companies can drive real results. 

A few highlights:

-Closed a strategic partnership with CAA
-Raised $7M in funding for a Mark Cuban venture-backed startup
-Secured $4.13M in brand deals for one of the world’s top celebrities

My background spans banking (JPMorganChase), global advisory (PwC, KPMG), and a decade as CFO/COO in the luxury design world, managing 50+ people and overseeing $40M+ in ARR and $1B+ in real estate projects for icons like President Obama, George Clooney, and Cindy Crawford.

I’ve lived and worked in LA, NYC, and Dubai. I’ve built communities in tech, luxury, and now the creator economy. I’m obsessed with solving complex business problems through storytelling, partnerships, and scalable brand strategy.

Always open to meeting new and interesting people that love life, love to win, and love to make the world a better place.

The power of LinkedIn is ridiculous.

I have a croissant named after me because of it.

And that croissant led me to Geraldine Spurway.

This story is absolutely wild. 

First, I connected with Ama ATHIGE SILVA here on LinkedIn.

That connection led to us meeting at Paris Blockchain Week.

I told her about my love of almond croissants. 

She then took me on a tour of almond croissants in Paris. 
It was delightful, buttery, and fun. 

But that wasn't it. 

She's like I'm opening a bakery here in Paris. 
I said wow wow wow.

She's like I'm naming an almond croissant after you. 
I again said wow wow wow. 

Posted about that almond croissant moment on LinkedIn.
And the creation of the Kraski Croissant. 

Then Geraldine Spurway entered the chat.

French by birth.
London by choice.
Force of nature by design.

She DM'd me about the croissant post.
She said I love almond croissants too. 
Swapped stories about croissants.

But here's what happened next:

We decided to meet in real life. 

Met her and her husband at Soho House & Co Paris.

Real talk. 
Real connection.
Real conversation.

No pitch deck.
No business cards.
Just three people talking about life.

Think about that.

While everyone's sending cold DMs with their services...
She connected human to human.

While everyone's pushing their "revolutionary AI solutions"...
She asked about my favorite croissant. 

This is Geraldine's magic:

She doesn't just build brands.
She builds relationships.

She doesn't just teach speaking.
She teaches connection.

She doesn't just strategize growth.
She creates it through genuine care.

Follow Geraldine Spurway.

She'll transform how you show up.

In business.
On stage.
In life.

Trust me, Ama ATHIGE SILVA, Geraldine Spurway, and the Kraski Croissant on this one.

The easiest way to win on LinkedIn?

Shouting out amazing people.

Lana Ivory 🦋 posted about giving Starbucks gift cards to airport staff.

That was it.

That was the post that made me reach out.

Product Marketing at Meta.
Leading AI glasses adoption.
Former AWS, Alexa, Amazon.

But none of that mattered.

What mattered was this:

She gave $5 gift cards to TSA agents at 5am.
To check-in staff dealing with holiday chaos.
To flight attendants nobody thanks.

Not for likes.
Not for content.
Not for personal brand.

She just did it.

Think about that.

Most people here preach kindness.
Lana practices it.

Finally met her at Brandweek in Atlanta.

She's exactly who that post said she'd be.

The real deal.

No performance.
No pretense.
Just genuine.

Sometimes you can tell everything about someone from one post.

How they treat the people nobody sees.
What they do when nobody's watching.
Who they are when there's nothing to gain.

That's real influence.

One $5 Starbucks gift card at a time.

Follow Lana Ivory 🦋.

She gets what actually matters.

Trust me on this one.

Some people you meet on LinkedIn and immediately click.

Like you've known them your whole life.

Monica Khan is one of those people.

We connected earlier this year.

Yesterday I gave her a tour of Dhar Mann Studios.

She's worked with some of the biggest names in tech like YouTube and Facebook and some of the biggest names in the creator economy.

Fast Company named her one of the five most powerful creator economy executives.

But here's what those accolades don't tell you:

Monica doesn't just understand the creator economy.
She's been building it from the inside for over a decade.

Most executives talk about creators like they're metrics.
Monica talks about them like they're people.

Because she gets it.

The creator economy isn't about algorithms.
It's about authenticity.

Not about followers.
It's about impact.

Not about content.
It's about connection.

Monica Khan sees what others miss:

The future isn't about creating content.
It's about creating movements.

And she's not just watching it happen.
She's making it happen.

One creator at a time.
One partnership at a time.
One conversation at a time.

Follow Monica Khan.

She's not just shaping the creator economy.
She's defining what it means to succeed in it.

Trust me and Monica Khan on this one.
