Experience
Nearly two decades across the energy value chain and the decision systems surrounding it.
Bryan has managed and optimized national and global supply-chain activities; developed commercial, market, and enterprise strategy; shaped pricing and market intelligence; worked directly on public-market and transaction initiatives; integrated acquisitions; improved operating systems; and translated complex market, regulatory, and operating conditions into decisions.
His experience spans conventional and renewable fuels, feedstocks, logistics, trading, sales and marketing, investor relations, regulation, compliance, communications, organizational performance, and executive decision support across the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
The range is not a collection of adjacent interests. It is the product of a career spent crossing the boundaries between the functions that together determine enterprise value.
Institutions
Bryan's primary external advisory firm. Twenty Three Point Five Strategies advises leaders, owners, and investors on strategy, commercial performance, transformation, transaction readiness, executive communication, and the operating decisions that shape enterprise value.

Its work is supported by Australis, the proprietary research and intelligence platform built to inform valuation, company coverage, market analysis, diligence, and investor-operator decision-making.
The Point Taken publishes Bryan's analysis of energy markets, infrastructure, industrial economics, business history, institutions, capital allocation, and the forces behind major transitions.
Publishing, service, and venture building
Bryan's publishing, philanthropic, culinary, and venture work reflects the same institution-building philosophy. Featured entities include Silk Foundation, Mockingbird Hollow Publishing, the cookbook A Seat at My Table, and Pour Intelligence.
Bryan works with executives, boards, investors, owners, and founders on consequential decisions across strategy, markets, capital, operations, transformation, and institutional development.
