From Realpolitik to Real Estate

After preparing for a career in foreign affairs, I decided to change course and make a foray into one of the most dynamic asset classes in investment management.

I’m a Toronto-based real estate investment and development professional with well over a decade of experience navigating the financial crisis in 2008 and participating in the most active development cycle in this city’s history. I’ve carried out value-add, opportunistic, and build-to-core mandates across various sectors and geographies within Canada. My content has been published in FDI Intelligence, Canadian Investment Review, and other industry-specific publications. I’m impassioned by global affairs and the way it intersects with business and economics. Born and raised in Vancouver, I will always have a place in my heart for the West Coast.
