Hi, I’m Sasha
Business strategist, investor, and producer of luxury travel retreats and events
From multi-day retreats at 5* resorts on a lake to week-long trips exploring the skeleton coast of Namibia to single day “not so average” conferences in NYC, I curate and plan one-of-a-kind adventures and events. I primarily work with VC Funds, professional services firms and HNWI to create unique experiences for their clients, portfolio companies, partners and employees. I also curate a handful of invite-only trips myself to breathtakingly gorgeous places around the world where guests have and an opportunity to bond with a hand-picked group of incredible individuals and can experience a five-star trip without the markup. Join me, we have exploring to do.
A little about me
Over the course of my career, I've had the opportunity to play in a few sandboxes. I started as an investment banker doing M&A and IPOs for social media and software companies, then transitioned into leadership roles overseeing GTM, ops, strategy and product for every size company from a startup to a unicorn to a pubic company. What do I have expertise in? Loyalty and subscription programs, retention strategies, all things travel, credit cards, marketplaces and mobility. Now, I use my learnings and network to invest, consult and plan these adventures.
Along the way, I've visited over 100 countries, bringing along groups of people for the ride who wouldn't normally occupy the same space. They forge new friendships and business relationships as we stay in breathtaking locations, discover new corners of the world and learn skills from our bucket list. And, yes, these trips are as fun as they sound.
The Elevated retreat and conference
I primarily work with funds, professional services firms and HNWIs and am hired to either consult on their events or fully produce multi-day offsites and retreats, single day conferences and parties for their clients, portfolio companies, partners and employees. Occasionally, I’ll take on a wedding :) A few of my favorite places I’ve planned events: NYC, MA, Finger Lakes, CA, Guatemala, Namibia, Mexico, Miami, Philippines, Cayman Islands, Saint Martin, St Lucia, Turks and Caicos.
For 15 years, I have had the privilege of viewing the travel industry from multiple vantage points, both as an insider and an outsider, and I utilize my connections and insights to plan unforgettable adventures. I only take on a few clients a year so get in touch!
