Real estate, hospitality operations and AI · Spain and Europe
The returns are won or lost in the operation.
I help owners, operators and investors buy buildings well, and shape the structure that has to hold them afterwards.
I've had to live with the decisions.
Most advice on operations comes from people who have never carried the payroll, opened a building late, or explained a bad quarter to an owner. I did all three, for almost ten years, with the team that ran it.
I also still do the work myself. The tools I use are ones I've built with and broken, not read about. That's the only way to tell what genuinely removes work from an operation and what just adds a subscription.
More about how I workPutting AI to work
An operation that mostly runs itself.
Every square is a unit under management. Lit means it moved without anyone touching it; terracotta is where a person still decides, and stays deciding.
The same logic applies before the building is bought: underwriting, document review and investor reporting are mostly repetition, and repetition is what gets automated.

Where I'm useful
Two sides of the same business: the operation, and the vehicle built around it. Owners and operators usually arrive by the first door and investors by the second. Most engagements end up touching both.

A first call is free, and usually enough to tell whether I can help.
If I can't, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
