How I think

I like to work in markets that are growing. When a market grows, it carries you. And when you execute well on top of that, you compound much faster than others. That's how I chose every venture I started.

I also believe a good business is a machine. In real estate development, the goal is not to build a project. It's building a machine that develops solid projects again and again.

About

I'm a born entrepreneur, but I've always been just as curious about how societies work. That's why I studied sociology.

I'm drawn to countries and cities with a buzz, places that are growing fast. Strangely enough, I can always feel how a country's economy is doing just by spending time there. I'm just as fascinated by places where that buzz is gone, like the former Soviet Union.

Today I'm a father, I live abroad with my family, and real estate development is my life's work.
