Business consultant · Jacó, Costa Rica

A life built
with purpose.

I help founders, operators, and real estate teams turn ambitious ideas into businesses that work—from strategy and sales to AI, automation, and hospitality operations.

Explore my world

I used to measure success
by what I had.
Now, it’s what I build.
And who I build it with.

Twenty years ago, I traded California for a bicycle and a small apartment in Jacó. I never lost the ambition. I found a better reason for it.

A useful place to start

What is Lisle’s Costa Rica experience?

Lisle has lived and worked in Jacó since 2006. His experience includes opening a Coldwell Banker franchise, leading Vacasa’s Costa Rica launch, and advising residential, hospitality, and vacation-rental projects.
