Chris Burch - Founder and CEO of Burch Creative Capital
Summary
He has contributed to the rise of multiple brands, including Faena Hotel + Universe, Jawbone, Tory Burch, Poppin and Voss Water. In 2012, Burch acquired and renovated Nihiwatu, a luxury resort on the Indonesian island of Sumba, ranked in 2016 as the #1 Hotel in the World by Travel + Leisure magazine. Later that year, he launched Cocoon9, luxury prefab homes with space-saving floor plans, contemporary design, energy efficient features, and sophisticated finishes. He is currently supporting the development of other lifestyle and consumer products brands including BaubleBar, Blink Health, Brad’s Raw Foods, Chubbies, Little Duck Organics, and Soludos. I might be traveling in the South Pacific to explore land for the expansion of my resort, Nihiwatu, or in Los Angeles for meetings, or in New York for updates from the companies that I invest in.
