Oliver Braun

Principal & Founder

Inspirational people-first coach with decades of hospitality leadership, translating human connection into sustained commercial results.

Why Excellence Begins with People

"I believe empowered brand ambassadors are the heart of every successful luxury enterprise. When employees feel trusted, knowledgeable, and aligned with their brand’s purpose, they transform into consultants—not sales reps—delivering value to their discerning customers with authenticity and care.

My coaching approach draws on Carew’s proven methodologies to cultivate leadership and sales capabilities that aren’t just measurable but transformative. By fostering trust, confidence, and excellence, I enable leaders and their teams to pay it forward—creating exceptional customer moments while achieving sustainable growth for their brands. Together, we will strive for ultimate success built on people-first principles."
