My role
Partner (Creative). Helped re-position the business. Continue to generate event and content ideas for members while working with founder and team on future direction.
Modern Affluence Exchange
I’m also equity partner in Modern Affluence Exchange (MAX), an Adoreum spin-off running a yearly summit at 180 Studios to redefine affluence for the values-driven modern affluent. I’ve collaborated on summit themes, panel ideas, and guest curation, broadening the conversation beyond luxury to keep social impact, equity, and legacy central.
I've got to be real here, Modern Affluence isn't my usual stomping ground. But beyond the bros and broligarchs, there's a lot of lovely folk who've amassed the dollars too.
Summit themes
'The Great Wealth Transfer', AI everything, the future of ESG, the quantum computing revolution, sustainable luxury, 'what type of ancestor do you want to be?'
