Professional Summary

Bridging Analytics & Execution

As a Senior Real Estate Strategist, my mandate is simple: identify undervalued assets, optimize operational efficiency, and deliver outsized returns for stakeholders. With over a decade navigating complex commercial and luxury markets across Europe and North America, I bring a rigorous, data-first approach to portfolio management.

I have successfully spearheaded the due diligence, acquisition, and repositioning of over €850M in commercial assets. My expertise lies not just in the initial transaction, but in the lifecycle management of the asset—from negotiating anchor tenant leases to managing multi-million euro CapEx improvement projects.

Currently seeking a challenging role or freelance consulting mission where I can leverage my expertise in financial modeling (Argus/Excel), market trend forecasting, and high-stakes negotiation to drive institutional growth.
