I am a seasoned Product and Engineering Executive with extensive experience in managing technology strategy, business enablement, and execution, with a strong focus on the banking industry. In addition to my career in banking, I have been actively investing in real estate in the New Jersey area and recently joined the Warrior Program to further deepen my expertise.
 
My goal is to leverage my high-net-worth network and successfully transition into real estate business management over the next five years, building a sustainable and impactful real estate portfolio.

What are some hurdles you had to overcome to get this deal done?

 
One of the main hurdles I faced was the challenge of proximity—closing a deal in a location I had never personally visited was difficult. However, I gained a lot of confidence by trusting Baran, my local partner on the ground, whose experience and knowledge of the area gave me peace of mind
 

What are some of the lessons you learned with this deal?

 
Although we had studied extensively and participated in the Warrior sessions, this deal truly put everything into perspective for me.
