In 2000, he floated ORCO on the stock exchange, making it the largest property company in Central Europe and Germany, with a portfolio of 200 property projects in several capitals, involving more than 1.5 million square metres of space and over €4 billion of investment. He is also the founder of the MaMaison hotel chain, which operates throughout Central Europe, as well as the hotel chain on the island of Hvar. He was also one of the first property investors to bet on Austin, the capital of Texas, back in 2001. He left his position in 2014 to devote himself to his family business OTT Héritage, which is the driving force behind MyHotelMatch.com, a revolutionary OTA, and his property company Courbet, which focuses on French brand cities such as Cannes, Evian and La Bourboule. He is the controlling shareholder of Tonner Drones, a developer of military drones for special forces, which has now joined Delta Drone to make it a specialist in the sector.

A multicultural and multinational team of experts supports him in bringing his projects to fruition.
