Christopher’s work spans key markets in the Caribbean, where he engages ultra-high-net-worth families, sovereign partners, and regional developers to co-create sustainable hospitality assets, mixed-use enclaves, and climate-resilient infrastructure.

He has taught economics and business, launched a student-led fund geared to international education at Brooklyn College, and helped elevate Cornell’s HBCU Real Estate Case Competition to national recognition. A trusted advisor to governments, real estate practitioners, and diaspora leaders alike, Christopher is widely regarded for his ability to unlock untapped potential in people, places, and portfolios.

His personal mission is clear: to champion a renaissance that is as profitable as it is poetic—rooted in heritage, designed for resilience, and worthy of future generations.
