Previously, I worked at EM Investment Partners (EMIP) as a director responsible for the evaluation, structuring, and execution of middle-market equity and debt real estate investments throughout the U.S. and had significant involvement in the inception of its inaugural debt fund. Prior to EMIP, I worked at JLL Securities as a vice president focused on global real estate investment banking and private equity real estate capital raising. Prior to that, I was at Macquarie Capital, working with international institutional investors and operators on real estate investment banking and placement agent advisory, debt/equity capital raising, and principal investing. I started my career in asset/wealth management in Europe at Robeco and Rabobank, before working in generalist investment banking in New York.

Throughout my career, I have built relationships with a variety of global PERE investors, including pension and insurance funds, fund managers, and sovereign wealth funds. My wide transaction and technical (Excel/Argus underwriting) experience spans retail, office, multi-family, lodging, industrial, as well as niche real estate sectors including manufactured-, student-, and senior-housing, datacenters, and cold- and self-storage. While in generalist investment banking, I gained valuation and M&A experience across consumer goods, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, technology, financial institutions groups (FIG), and real estate.

I have a strongly diverse/international background, having lived and worked across Europe and the U.S., and speaking multiple languages. I hold a BSc in International Business Administration from Erasmus University Rotterdam (Netherlands), a Cum Laude MScBA degree from the Rotterdam School of Management (Netherlands), and a post-graduate certificate in Real Estate Finance & Investments from New York University (NYU) (U.S.). Additionally, I hold an executive education certificate in Applied Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Organizational Transformation from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (U.S.). I have held FINRA Series 63 and 79 licenses, and am a Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) charterholder.
