Head of Data —
Real Estate AI
& Analytics.
Based in Amsterdam, I lead data initiatives at KR&A, delivering AI-powered insights for European real estate funds, REITs and institutional investors. With expertise in machine learning, geospatial analysis, and alternative data, I help transform complex data into investment decisions.
My bias: opinionated internal tools beat big platforms; a tested pipeline beats a clever one; and a map should answer a question, not perform complexity.
