With over a decade of experience in real estate investing and development, and corporate finance advisory, I bring extensive expertise in real estate asset management, strategic realignment, and revitalization. I have successfully negotiated and (re)financed projects and acquisitions exceeding 75 million Euros. My key contributions include structuring deals, long-term risk management, optimizing capital costs, and sustainably increasing net returns. In previous roles, I have led the turnaround of companies facing financial difficulties, served as a junior advisor in Financial Institutions Group (FIG) M&A, and worked as a management consultant. My clients across the financial services, telecommunications, and utilities industries have benefited from my solutions for revenue enhancement, growth strategy, regulatory compliance, and post-merger integration. I thrive on managing challenging and complex projects that demand creativity, innovation, and strategic collaboration.

Polygravity, unfortunately, had to close operations. The idea and tech are still revolutionary - possibly ahead of its time. Some said it to be a bold attempt, yet an attempt I would not want to have missed in the world. An attempt that brought with it all facets of building a business.
