My work spans underwriting, investment modeling, feasibility analysis, and asset management support across the firm’s portfolio.Prior to Athens, I spent several years with Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts in Chicago and Denver, leading operational teams and gaining firsthand understanding of the guest experience and the economic levers that drive performance. I hold an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and a certificate in Hotel Real Estate Investments & Asset Management from Cornell University.I’m drawn to the intersection of hospitality, finance, and design — helping bridge the gap between inspired development and disciplined investment strategy.
