Institutional Expertise. On-Demand.

With nearly 20 years of experience at the intersection of fine art and high finance, I provide the institutional rigor necessary to navigate the complexities of art-secured lending. My background is rooted in formal credit and loan structuring at Goldman Sachs, which provided the foundational discipline for my subsequent 17-year tenure at Emigrant Bank. There, I managed a premier bank art lending portfolio, overseeing the technical architecture of high-value, asset-backed transactions.

Most recently, I led the art lending practice at The Fine Art Group, where I focused on structuring sophisticated loans and managing high-trust relationships for family offices and private clients.

I have spent two decades inside the "black box" of credit committees, giving me an unparalleled understanding of how to bridge the gap between aesthetic value and institutional asset-class logic.

As an independent consultant, I now offer this expertise through a fractional model, providing senior-level leadership without the full-time overhead. My work is uniquely dual-sided: I act as a strategic advocate for borrowers navigating the application process and as a technical advisor for banks looking to build or refine their art lending infrastructure.

I am dedicated to institutionalizing the art finance ecosystem by delivering precise, on-demand counsel to clients who require expert oversight on a bespoke project basis.
