Company: Flaska

Location: Slovenia

Based in Slovenia, the Flaska company has a fascinating history behind its founding by Maks Vrecko. After achieving spectacular results with large fields of strawberry crops utilizing “restructured water” (a method intended to bring water stored in pipes and other containers back to its more natural, spring water state), he devised a method to create glass water bottles that contain vibrational frequencies projected to make water that is put into the bottle more like healthy spring water to enhance human and animal health.

Company: China Live Ventures

I look back on my 15 years of private equity investment experience with enthusiasm. I was fortunate to work with companies in a wide range of industries from consumer products and services to B2B sectors such as online marketing and media. I enjoyed all aspects of my work: taking deep dives researching industries and competitors, originating investment opportunities, performing due diligence on companies, structuring and negotiating financial partnerships and working with management teams to build thriving organizations.

As a financial consultant, I have enjoyed a closer connection with management and the impact I can have on solving problems and streamlining processes. I have found my “superpowers” in this role to be my positive can-do attitude when faced with complex business issues, my discipline and determination to establish focused goals to grow businesses and my hardworking “get it done” approach to executing on the plan.

I am passionate about a variety of social causes including supporting and mentoring women in business, climate change and financial equity and education. I look forward to finding my next role where I can blend my joy of investing and/or consulting with my desire to make a positive impact in the world.

I help people see, recognize and create value.

When I discovered the paradigm of sustainable development, I saw it as a viable alternative to our current capital markets mindset as taught in university economic departments.

Ever since I have enjoyed expressing my gifts across a range of themes:

* personal development psychology
* sustainable wealth management
* regenerative economic development
* green economy
* business innovation

Now my focus is to integrate best practices for a regenerative economy.

I serve a range of clients who are investors, leaders and projects which create better thinking, tools and systems for humanity.

I am most intrigued by people and projects to evolve financial markets, social equity and economic systems to create shared prosperity and thriving for all people and all life.

Since my college days my roles and relationships have expanded with a growing circle of friends and clients who express their vision for a better world. My intensely curious mind led me to study various schools of thought from economics to computer science, biology to meditation and wisdom traditions. Then I built my expertise while working with several large and small investment banks, financial institutions and think tanks.

I am beyond grateful to the women and men who are my mentors, whose insights and gifts inspire me every day.

Today I and my circle of friends weave across the world to serve and evolve humanity through a range of economic development groups, think tanks, investment networks, families of wealth, social enterprises, indigenous groups, regenerative agriculture, social innovation, women led enterprises, etc , through our activities toward implementing the most advanced practices to achieve the sustainable development goals. Please reach out to connect anytime you feel I can add value to your efforts.

Being a Southern California native, I have celebrated living in Santa Monica since I moved here in 1983. I love creating art, savoring rare aged teas, cooking for loved ones, long walks, ocean swimming, esoteric philosophy, meditation, yoga, surfing and photography…

My aim is to express my passion for personal development and human evolution into every moment with every relationship.
