- Forge strategic partnerships with global retail brands, investors, and stakeholders to ensure a diversified and successful tenant mix that aligns with the project’s objectives.
- Managing the preparation and regular review of the project-specific development and design briefs to ensure its alignment with the project business objectives.
- Take ownership of the financial aspects related to retail development, from budgeting and forecasting to revenue optimization and ensuring profitability.
- Innovation and Differentiation: Drive innovation in retail design and customer experience, leveraging technology and trends to create a truly exceptional and immersive retail environment.
- Instructing, organizing and coordinating all development disciplines with the objective of harmonizing the diversified functions to deliver completed projects in accordance with the objectives established in the approved business plan.
- Compliance and Risk Management: Ensure adherence to legal, regulatory, and safety standards while proactively mitigating potential risks associated with the retail component.

- Substantial experience managing the real estate development process, from project initiation and acquisition to project structuring, design, construction, commission, and operation.
