Founder & Managing Broker
With over a decade of experience in Commercial Real Estate, I specialize in connecting global investors, developers, and corporations with strategic real estate opportunities across the U.S. and international markets.
I’ve built strong partnerships across multiple continents, including facilitating ongoing cross-border collaborations between India and the United States. I’ve personally traveled to India to meet with manufacturers, trade councils, and government officials to better understand their expansion objectives and logistics needs.
