He began his professional journey in proprietary trading and went on to become a founding partner of ECHOtrade. In this position, he played a key role in growing the firm from a small boutique to a global trading platform that now supports hundreds of traders worldwide. By adopting direct-to-exchange trading systems and algorithmic strategies early on, he helped the firm achieve substantial revenue, reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. His sharp understanding of market dynamics and his significant contributions to the firm’s success earned him a respected place among his peers in the trading world.

After establishing himself in trading, he expanded into real estate. Seeing early promise in short-term rentals and urban hospitality, he applied a data-focused and technology-driven approach to launching ventures designed for scalability, automation, and quality control. Many of the ideas he put into practice have since become common in the industry. At the same time, several projects achieved early successes and garnered attention, but not all transitioned into long-term, large-scale operations.

He has been candid about the operational challenges he has faced, viewing them as important learning points that shaped his leadership and professional outlook. These moments reinforced his understanding that having a strong vision is only part of success and that execution depends on working with the right partners. Today, he focuses on advisory work, strategy development, and capital investment, moving away from direct operational roles. His strengths include identifying market gaps, developing investment strategies, and supporting growth from a non-operational perspective.
