Yvo’s Private Equity Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Experience level: Partner or Managing Director

10+ people coached for Private Equity

With deep expertise in financial markets, equity analysis and real estate investments globally ranging from working on publicly traded REITs, developers, hotel operators to private deal flow, amounting to over $15 billion whilst generating top decile returns, I help professionals throughout their recruiting, technical prep and career growth trajectory. My hands-on experience in sourcing, underwriting, and executing high-value trades and investment opportunities allows me to provide practical, results-driven coaching. I do this with a level of excitement and passion that is contagious, which empowers the people I work with and introduces an element of fun into what otherwise can be quite a dull or stressful experience. My approach blends real-world knowledge with a mentor’s mindset, ensuring you gain the skills, confidence, and network to thrive in the competitive world of financial markets and real estate private equity. My coaching always goes hand in hand with some level of introspection to understand my client's pain points as I have learned first hand that mindset and the energy you bring to work or an interview can significantly enhance or decrease your chances to success, or that you might be on the wrong track and actually what you are really looking for is a new challenge in a different line of work within or outside the finance industry.

About Yvo

With a career spanning multiple investment firms and over $15 billion in global investments in both the public and private arena, I have had the privilege of working across diverse markets and cultures from Italy to Thailand, from Brazil to the UK, from the US to Indonesia, from Chile to China. This truly global exposure, which is rare in the investment world, has deepened my understanding of how cultural nuances influence business and investment decisions, allowing me to navigate the complexities of international finance with a broader perspective. My entrepreneurial journey, leading teams and mentoring individuals have been some of the most fulfilling aspects of my career. I am deeply passionate about helping people grow, unlock their potential, and become the best version of themselves. Whether through leadership or coaching, I strive to empower others to honing their craft; to get clarity, build confidence, and achieve success in both their professional and personal lives. My coaching is not only focused on obtaining the (technical) skills and knowledge to thrive, but also to build the character and soft skills required that make you stand out in a competitive industry such as finance. My core areas of focus are: 1. Real estate investment: real estate private equity, public/private REITs, real asset investing, real estate securities (geography: global) 2. Equities/macro/portfolio management (geography: global) 3. Life & Career coaching

Why do I coach?

Some of the most valuable investments I've made in my life and career have been in myself—through various types of coaching, including career, financial, life, mental, and spiritual coaching. Instead of seeing coaching as an expense, I have to come to realise that good coaching as an investment that propels you toward your goals. The growth you gain from quality coaching can have a lasting, lifelong impact and create a paradigm shift in your career. Another reason is to come into contact with potential talent for some of the ventures that I am working on.
