I’ve spent much of my life moving between countries—sometimes for work, sometimes for curiosity, and often for both. Along the way, I’ve led teams, integrated businesses, and worked inside multinational organizations where decisions made in one place ripple across many others. What I’ve learned is that cross-border work rarely fails because of strategy. It stumbles in the space between people, context, and execution.

Throughout my career, I’ve held senior leadership roles in global companies and private-equity–owned businesses, with hands-on responsibility for operations, post-acquisition integrations, and growth across North America, Europe, and South America. I’ve lived in different countries, worked fluently in multiple languages, and experienced firsthand how culture shapes the way teams collaborate, trust, and move from plans to action.

This site is a place to reflect on those experiences. It’s where I explore what actually makes cross-border integration work, how decisions travel, how teams stay aligned across distance, and why well-intended initiatives succeed in some environments and struggle in others.

You’ll find essays on execution and leadership, observations from travels and work on the ground, notes on books and ideas that have influenced my thinking, and small moments—like a shared breakfast table or a standing espresso—that reveal something larger about how people work together across cultures.

I write to understand these dynamics better and to share what I’ve seen along the way. If you’re curious about how organizations move together across borders, or would like to share your own experiences, please join me on this journey.
