An entrepreneurial mindset - spotting angles, unlocking hidden value, and finding a path to “yes” where others see a dead end. The confidence to engage at boardroom level with institutional capital, and the commercial empathy to work seamlessly with developers, agents, and stakeholders on the ground. Discipline in execution, attention to detail, and the stamina to handle high-velocity deal flow without losing clarity or focus.
