I have been working in real estate for about 4 years. I started my experience in a real estate agency as a consultant for the activities of buying and selling real estate exclusively in residential orbit. In 2019 I joined the logistics team of World Capital, where my focus was for leasing activities of logistics or industrial assets.

My entry into Colliers took place in July 2021, following the proposal to become part of a very interesting, young, long-term project, with very solid foundations. I accepted without hesitation, aware of how colliers is an international brand recognized all over the world. Today my focus is for letting and investment activities on behalf of the main investors on the market in three different asset classes: logistics, understood as a classic distribution of goods, therefore distribution centers; last mile and data center world, where we expect the highest growth rate between now and the next few years.

My role at Colliers is to be involved within a single team where I deal with both letting and investment activities. This means knowing how to cross and match the demands of the world of capital with those of users.
