• Asset Classes: Mainly shopping centers and offices, plus hotels, education, and other urban assets. For international clients, he also works with logistics and farmland.
• Result: Contributed to 3 shopping center transactions in his first year at CBRE.

Key Qualifications & Highlights
• Fast Industry Learner: He joined CBRE with only one introductory real estate class. He also entered fleet management consulting at GBCS with no prior background. In both cases, he reached delivery-level work, including RFPs, a model for a client’s carbon-reduction plan, and record transaction results.
• Record-Setting Contribution: Reached the shopping center goal in his first year at CBRE, in a market where malls rarely trade.
• AI-Driven Efficiency: He moved from manual teaser and NDA production to AI-assisted workflows.
• Finance + Sales Hybrid: His risk and variance analysis background, combined with capital markets deal execution, gives him both the analytical and the client-facing side of deal presentations.
• Leadership & Discipline: Four-year Varsity swimmer, Student Senator, and member of the Student Investment Group and Finance Group at Dickinson.
• Trilingual: Fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Screening Interview - Key Observations
• Adaptability: He joined CBRE knowing little about real estate and described the first two months as a steep learning curve (understanding the market, prospecting clients, and buildings). He did the same in a fleet management consulting internship in Canada, where he worked on RFPs and modeled how a client could cut carbon emissions to qualify for tax benefits.
• Motivation and Strongest Interest: He wants to keep growing in AI and task automation. He explained that his early months were very manual, and that AI tools made his work faster, clearer, and better presented. He believes the time saved should go to higher-value work.
• Weaker Areas / Less Preferred Work: His main point was that manual, repetitive production work was the least efficient part of his role before AI. He acknowledged limited real estate background before CBRE.
Concerns and Questions About the Role:
• The 12-month contract worries him, given CBRE’s stability, so further interviews should focus on growth potential and the possibility of renewing the contract beyond 12 months.
• He asked about the New York office and whether an in-person role in the US could be possible later, acknowledging visa constraints.
