Bright ideas, proven principles, smart policy, and forward looking leadership for a better New York.

I’m running as a write-in candidate for Mayor of New York City — not to divide or disrupt, but to offer a thoughtful, steady, and results-oriented alternative. Our campaign is about pragmatic leadership—grounded in experience, guided by integrity, and inspired by a bold optimism for all that New York is and can become.

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of progressive values and economic growth — advocating for equity, opportunity, and smart investment in people and places. Whether advising mission-driven entrepreneurs, helping nonprofits and family offices unlock strategic capital, or partnering with local governments on revitalization efforts, I’ve seen firsthand that progress and prosperity go hand in hand.

I believe in an economy that works because it works for everyone — powered by innovation, guided by values, and grounded in results.

Our Priorities

Modern Governance
Waste and dysfunction are not inevitable. We can deliver better performance metrics, clearer transparency, and real accountability at every level of city government — leading with both rigor and respect.

Corporate Partnership for the Public Good
New York thrives when business thrives — but growth must be inclusive. We’ll work with companies that invest in local hiring, workforce development, and civic infrastructure to ensure shared prosperity.

Safety and Trust
Every New Yorker deserves to feel safe — and respected. That means better-lit streets, expanded mental health services, and smart, community-based policing that builds trust while delivering results.

Smart Equity
We’ll champion civil rights and invest in policies that deliver real results — expanding access to fair housing, improving public education, protecting reproductive freedom, and ensuring equal treatment under the law. Equity isn’t just a value — it’s a measurable goal, and we’ll lead with data, compassion, and accountability.
