What prompted you to enter the world of luxury gifting lounges? It really began on the other side of the table. As the founder of my own brand, I experienced first-hand what happens when you become a sponsor of these high-end lounges. I remember thinking: I’m creating products and now I’m sitting down with people I’ve only ever seen on TV. That shift made me realize there was something bigger than just product placement — it was about connection, story, media, and impact. When a long-standing gifting lounge lost its producer, I was asked to step in. At first, I hesitated — but then I knew the community of brands I had grown to respect would be left without a key platform if I didn’t take it on.
