Brand strategy. Commercial execution.

I am Eva, founder of Aster Advisors. From JPMorgan trading floors to Paris Airshow debuts, I bring the rigor of institutional finance to the brands defining their industries.

Aster Advisors is my practice, built for a carefully chosen group of founders, family offices, investment firms, and premium enterprises across the US, UK, and Europe. The work sits at the intersection of brand authority, strategic partnerships, and commercial execution, and it draws on more than 20 years of hands-on experience across financial services, aviation, experiential luxury, and advanced mobility.

I launch market-shaping brands, build strategic partnerships, and translate complex commercial strategy into measurable value.

What I Do

I design the commercial frameworks that allow companies to grow with intention. That means building the brand architecture, go-to-market systems, partnership frameworks, and fundraising narratives that resonate with capital and consumers at the right moment.

The work looks different depending on where a company is. Sometimes it is a market entry, sometimes a commercial expansion, sometimes a capital raise that needs a sharper story behind it. What stays consistent is the approach: strategic clarity first, operational discipline operational discipline throughout, and the kind of hands-on involvement that actually moves things forward.

I work with a small number of clients at a time, supported by a trusted network of creative, digital, and media specialists when the work requires it. The result is a senior advisory relationship that covers the full picture, from positioning to execution, rather than stopping at the strategy document.

What I offer

My work sits at the intersection of brand authority, commercial execution, and strategic relationships. I stay involved long enough to make sure the strategy actually lands.

Who I Work With

I work with a carefully chosen group of family offices, investment firms, and high-growth ventures across the US, UK, and Europe, typically at pivotal moments of growth, whether that is launching a new concept, securing capital, or entering a new market.

My clients tend to operate in industries where trust, credibility, and relationships are the real currency: financial services, premium aviation, luxury travel, and advanced mobility.

Meet the founder, Eva

I founded Aster Advisors with a clear purpose: to give a small number of exceptional founders and investors exactly what I spent 20 years building, the strategic clarity, commercial infrastructure, and hands-on partnership to turn their biggest ideas into market reality.

Over two decades, I have operated at both ends of the capital table. I spent a decade in institutional finance at JPMorgan, Atticus Capital, Och-Ziff Capital Management, and CQS, leading investor relations, fundraising, and global marketing for some of the world's most demanding alternative investment firms.

My passion for travel, flight, and the future of how people move through the world led me to step out of finance and into senior operating roles across advanced mobility, aviation, and luxury travel.

As VP of Global Business Development at Aero, the first luxury semi-private air travel company, I led the commercial and partnership function that scaled revenue to $30M across 18 routes, built 70+ global distribution and brand partnerships with names including Nobu, Six Senses, and Soho House, and sourced the capital partners that anchored a $50M Series B. At Elysian Aircraft, I built the brand from inception and spearheaded the company's debut at the Paris Airshow. At Navier, I partnered with the leadership team on brand strategy and the global go-to-market roadmap across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.

I hold degrees in Psychology, Cinema & Media Studies, and Economics (Cum Laude) from Wellesley College and the University of Oxford, and am a certified coach accredited by the ICF, EMCC, and AC.

When I am not advising clients, I make art, explore the world with my maltipoo Rocco, and write for Travelle, my curated platform for luxury travel and meaningful exploration.

My Process

I take an intentional, partner-led approach to every engagement, dedicating the focus required to isolate your core levers, navigate complexity, and protect what makes your concept distinct. The framework I use is designed to make the most of your time, capital, and resources, directing each toward where it will have the highest strategic impact.

    IDENTIFY

    I pinpoint your highest-leverage opportunities, from new revenue models and untapped brand alliances to clear capital strategies, so every move you make is entirely intentional.

  • Four concentric purple circles on a black background.

    DEVELOP

    I build your commercial engine, refining your positioning, sharpening your brand narrative, and designing the sales systems and frameworks tailored to where you are headed.

    CONNECT

    I open doors through curated introductions, private industry events, and bespoke gatherings, bringing your concept in front of the partners, investors, and collaborators you need.

  • A stylized purple and black circular design with a central circle and an outer ring, intersected by lines forming a geometric pattern.

    FORMALIZE

    I help you navigate negotiations and terms so that every partnership is built on clear expectations, turning relationships into long-term assets rather than loose ends.

  • After exiting my company, I found myself in that tricky in-between space - proud of what I had built but unsure where to focus next. I needed clarity on what would energize me and feel truly meaningful. Eva helped me bring structure to that uncertainty, reconnect with what drives me, and design my next chapter in a way that aligns with my values, creativity, and long-term vision. Our work gave me the confidence to move forward with purpose and excitement.
