"So what do you do?"

"So what do you do?"

I hear this often. So here we go.

For 15 years I built and ran real estate functions inside global companies. Wayfair. Daimler / Mercedes-Benz. HOCHTIEF. Keppel.

Now I do that work independently, for companies that need the function and the expertise without the permanent headcount.

That is also the short answer to why India. I have worked across 30 countries and spent a good part of my career in Asia. India is not a new interest. It is where a lot of that experience points.

Four things I cover.

Corporate real estate.
Portfolio, transactions, workplace and M&A, as fractional or interim Head of Real Estate for scale-ups and corporates. Delivery Hero was one of those.

Real estate consulting.
Developers, investors and PropTechs who want the occupier's view of what they are building, or access to a market they do not know yet. That is what I advised revalu on, and I am a network partner of rvda.

Market entry.
European companies going to India, and non-European companies coming here. Location strategy and the real estate that follows, the rest with partners. For GCC setup and tech strategy, with Zinnov.

Strategic advisory.
Board and leadership mandates, currently with arcneo and Zinnov, and others to be disclosed.

Alongside it I run India Rising, an intelligence platform and community on the Europe–India corridor. Free to read, and it is how I keep the market view current.

90+ projects. 30+ countries. EUR 2B+ in volume. Five asset classes.
