What I'm looking for

I’m looking for institutional, private equity, family office, or operating platform opportunities where I can lead asset management strategy, capital execution, and portfolio performance—leveraging AI-enabled workflows. I’m fully flexible for remote or travel-based roles.

I’m a real estate investment and asset management executive with 20+ years of experience leading institutional-grade portfolios exceeding $2B across multifamily and commercial assets. I drive value creation through portfolio strategy, capital execution, and operational performance optimization.

I serve as a strategic partner to investment committees, capital partners, and lenders—advising on capital allocation, hold/sell/refinance decisions, and business plan execution. I’ve executed 100+ capital transactions, including refinancings, restructurings, and asset dispositions, with a focus on maximizing risk-adjusted returns.

I’m an early adopter of AI-enabled workflows, leveraging generative AI to enhance financial analysis, investment decision-making, reporting quality, and operational efficiency while maintaining quality control. I’m recognized for building scalable asset management platforms, leading cross-functional teams, and aligning investment strategy with execution to deliver consistent investor outcomes.
