Bespoke hospitality. Expert insight. Action with intention.

A hospitality industry executive with two decades of proven leadership across award-winning and influential properties, Jeffrey spent a decade as the originating Managing Partner of NoMad Hotels' food and beverage operations across New York City, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and London before being appointed Chief Operating Officer of parent company Make it Nice — the acclaimed group behind three-Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park, named Best Restaurant in the World in 2017.

With NoMad, Jeffrey was responsible for all aspects of brand development — overseeing financials, design, pre-opening, and operations. Each NoMad launched with an ambitious suite of venues that balanced refinement and fun at the highest level. In New York, NoMad expanded to house an award-winning bar and an acclaimed off-Broadway experiential magic show and cocktail experience.

Before his tenure at Make it Nice, Jeffrey served as Wine Director of the legendary 'inoteca on Manhattan's Lower East Side, Maître'd of Jean-Georges' Mercer Kitchen in SoHo, and General Manager and Beverage Director of Chef Scott Conant's Scarpetta.

One of the world's most sought-after talents in luxury bar consulting, hospitality staff training, and multi-venue project development, Chris has successfully built globally-recognized beverage programs in some of the world's most challenging markets — including China, New York, Singapore, Mexico, South Korea, and the Caribbean.

Prior to founding LTH, Chris built and scaled Proof & Company Greater China, a Shanghai-based firm specializing in luxury hospitality consulting and premium wine and spirits trading. He grew Proof China from its first client projects in 2017 to a thriving, eight-figure business consulting on dozens of prestige projects across 30 cities. During this tenure, his teams placed projects in the World's 50 Best Bars and Asia's 50 Best Bars every consecutive year — a level of sustained, consolidated excellence unmatched by any other beverage consulting firm.

Chris balances three critical metrics in every engagement: the profitability and cash-flow priorities of key stakeholders; the best-in-class product expectations of international VIP guests; and the on-the-ground realities of procurement, logistics, and staff training at each local venue.
