About

Built at the intersection of finance, technology, and real estate.

I am Jonathan Holloway — operator and builder. My career spans the trading floors of Goldman Sachs and Barclays, the development pipelines of Standard Hotels and A&E Real Estate, and the AI risk infrastructure of Citigroup's global technology division.

I founded JMH Studio to bring investment-banking rigor and AI-native execution to institutions and companies that need more than a consultant — they need someone who has built, managed, and transformed at scale.

My edge is synthesis: I can lead enterprise AI governance in the morning and model a hotel acquisition in the afternoon. Strategy without execution is decoration. I deliver both.
