Nice to meet you !
I'm a real estate investor
I'm glad we connect, let me share a little bit about me
About me
I was born and raised in Marseille, France and did all my aerospace engineering studies in France. I joined SAFRAN (a French multinational aircraft engine, defense, and security publicly traded company) in 2007. I led several challenging executive roles in France, Australia, Canada and in the US working on aircraft components and engines design.
I decided in 2012 to sit down for an executive MBA at SMU. 1 month after getting selected for the program I was expecting my first child. Maxime is born during the 2nd year and attended a well deserved graduation. For 2 years, I was working full-time, studying part-time for my MBA and nursing a little boy. While being a new mom and under pressure, I was able to graduate in the top 10 of the class with Honors.
I left the Corporate world in 2017 to start a career into Real Estate. I didn't know much about that industry, didn't had a lot of contacts neither the experience to credentialize myself easily. I didn't want to be an agent nor a broker. I wanted to be an investor! I faced a lot of challenges and setbacks but I fought and I fought hard.
After 1 year of hard hustle, submitting a lot of LOIs, I was finally able to get my 1st property under contract. We bought a portfolio of 340 units (multi-family apartments) in Q4 2018. We raised the equity and successfully closed early 2019. This was a major milestone for me.
I'm now working on my next deal and would love to tell you more about it.
