Senior Partner - Investment Banking & Institutional Real Estate
Co-Founder | Aetherion Investment PartnersAetherion delivers institutional-grade real estate across Iberia—spanning hospitality, logistics, residential, land development, and healthcare—by applying strict private equity discipline to direct development. Operating from Madrid and Lisbon, we control execution end-to-end and hold assets through delivery rather than trading entitlements. Our current pipeline features a 167-key branded hotel with 58 branded residences on Lisbon's riverfront, a secured-land oncology hospital in Lisbon, and active developments across Madrid, Barcelona, and the greater Lisbon district.

Prior to founding Aetherion, leadership directed international private and investment banking across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East within Senior Management Regime frameworks, closing transactions exceeding €4 billion. Subsequent executive mandates included board-level governance of a multi-vertical industrial group spanning energy, urban development, infrastructure, and healthcare. In real estate specifically, our combined track record exceeds €450 million in asset value and approximately 650,000 sqm of development.We structure for institutional capital from day one: airtight perimeters, ring-fenced vehicles, and returns that are modelled rather than asserted.
