Watching modern art by Arman, especially his Accumulation Renault, reveals this connection in action. A central figure of the Nouveau Réalisme movement, Arman transformed everyday industrial objects into striking visual statements, reminding us that innovation often emerges where commerce and creativity meet.
Taking a board to a living workshop, arranged by my team, to an art museum highlights the enduring link between art and business. Renault’s involvement shows how a brand can move beyond industry, using creativity to shape identity, culture, and strategic visibility.

Like the candidates for vice president, I am “in the Rust Belt” to contribute. My connection with the vice presidential candidates goes beyond just being “in the Rust Belt”—I share the name (JD) with Vance and align with Walz’s inclusive vision by embracing vulnerability, empathy, and support for others, reflecting a modern approach to masculinity.
Although my “Rust Belt” is based in my city, my role primarily involves making contributions at a board meeting.
