    The Quiet Architect

    Bourbon old fashioned with cacao nib syrup, orange & walnut bitters — strategy in motion

    Why this cocktail? David built event divisions at four institutions. This structured, architectural old fashioned is that legacy.

    The Story

    Arthur Andersen. Goldman Sachs. Barclays. Blackstone. At each institution, David Landgraf built the event division from the ground up — not producing events but creating the infrastructure for them.
