I was born into a family of real estate professionals. We moved to France when I was 5 due to my father's real estate ventures, and I grew up visiting countless construction sites with him. Eventually, I went to university to study Finance with a specialization in commercial real estate and bought my first property at just 19 years old. A few years later, I landed my first job in private equity real estate. We would acquire mostly net lease properties such as those of Realty Income (O) but also had a few land development projects and some residential investments.
