As President of Arena Stuart Rentals (ASR), I oversee the sales, operations, and financial functions of the West Coast hub of the publicly-traded, London-based Arena Group plc, an international events solution company. Prior to my role at ASR, I served as President/CEO and co-owner of Stuart Event Rentals, a Top 25 National event rental company that increased sales 20x through both organic growth and acquisition from 2003 – 2020 and from 12 to 170 employees during the same period. The Company serves many technology, non-profit and educational entities including Google, Intel, Intuit, Tesla, Cisco, Stanford University and University of California, Berkeley.Having managed a closely held and now public company through cycles from the Great Recession through the booming 2010s, and now through COVID-19, I continuously pull from a wide-range of professional experiences. I learned large company practices while serving as a manager with KPMG Consulting's Technology Strategy management consulting group, where I supervised and staffed projects for companies including Chevron, Boeing, Verizon, Brocade and Microsoft. I also leverage my experience as a litigator in Philadelphia during the 90’s before obtaining my MBA from the University of Chicago.I live in the Bay Area with my amazing wife and three teenage children.
