Summary

Passionate and dynamic Real Estate Development & Asset Management Professional, specialised in providing comprehensive solutions to Developers, Investors & Land/Property Owners, seeking to maximize their assets value and achieve high levels of performance from their Real Estate Investments.

My background extends to a 13-year track record in the Real Estate Industry. Having worked at “LAMDA DEVELOPMENT S.A” (www.lamdadev.com), the leader in the Greek Retail Market, I have gained extensive expertise in transforming real estate opportunities into long-term, revenue-generating business cases; I specialise in setting up and implementing development strategies for properties, in line with the Client’s investment objectives, to drive a quantifiable financial performance. The “Cosmos Mall Re-development Strategy” has been a solid project reference, where I optimised the asset’s performance, increasing turnover by 2%.

Combining engineering and business background, I have acquired a holistic approach on the asset development lifecycle, which not only requires a deep knowledge of zoning laws, construction & project management but also a sound understanding of the Client’s vision, the project’s scope and investment objectives, the market’s needs and customers’ expectations – critical to the success of Real Estate projects.

My core strengths include the ability to manage effectively and coordinate all cross functional teams involved (i.e. legal, leasing, financial, marketing, engineering, property management teams) throughout the asset’s development lifecycle (from the appraisal phase to the final handover/operation) to achieve development targets.

My professional values capture my passionate commitment to excellence, credibility, honesty, integrity and reliability.
