Guide corporate finance milestones: IPO preparation for hospitality arm, REIT feasibility for villa portfolios, or strategic M&A with regional luxury developers

Collaborate with legal on land acquisition due diligence, off-plan sales contracts, and hospitality JV agreements
Elevate the in-house finance team through mentoring and process automation

Native English proficiency ( French is a Plus ) for investor pitches, contracts, and board materials

Personality & Cultural Fit
