About Bear
With extensive experience in real estate private equity, I have developed a deep understanding of institutional investment strategies through roles at leading firms, including The Carlyle Group and Realterm. I have successfully passed multiple rigorous real estate private equity modeling tests, demonstrating my proficiency in financial modeling, deal structuring, and asset management. During my time at Carlyle, I gained firsthand experience in evaluating high-value real estate investments across diverse asset classes, while at Realterm, I focused on niche industrial assets, refining my expertise in logistics, transportation, and supply chain real estate. Currently pursuing my MBA at Vanderbilt University, I continue to sharpen my investment acumen, blending practical industry knowledge with advanced financial analysis. I am passionate about helping others master the complexities of real estate private equity and achieve their professional goals. Let’s connect to discuss how I can support your journey in real estate investment and financial modeling.
