What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior capital markets or real estate finance roles where I can lead complex financings, mentor teams, drive strategic debt solutions, and work within collaborative, high-performance investment or asset-management environments.

I am a senior capital markets and real estate finance professional with extensive experience leading large-scale financings, portfolio underwriting and lender relations across Europe and the U.S. I have led multi-billion euro debt raises, managed cross-functional teams, and presented strategic financing and disposal plans to senior stakeholders and boards.

Throughout my career I have supported major transactions for institutional investors, REITs and private equity, streamlined reporting and due-diligence processes, and advised asset managers on debt modeling and covenant compliance. I bring proven leadership, technical financial modeling and negotiation skills, and multilingual communication abilities to complex capital markets engagements.
