Shaping a flex future of work for everyone / Remote first advocate - Co-Founder @ eu4ua.org 🇺🇦 - Board Member @ La French Tech Madrid 🇪🇸

After finishing my studies, I moved to London with a suitcase, a guitar (I never actually played guitar but was definitely believing I would) and a 1,000€ student 0% loan.

After a year of doing not so interesting jobs and learning English, I somehow ended up working in recruitment, starting to open the French and Belgian markets from scratch.

Loads of downs, amazing ups, building a team of 40+ multicultural people, invoicing a few M£ (circa 20 to be exact), my employer then sent me to Paris to open the French subsidiary. I was 31 and a new dad. 

After 2 years living in the (not so) beautiful French capital, I quit. 
With 0 back up plan
2 weeks later, the Covid lockdown happened
F***

To make things spicier, I decided to start a company with a Belgian guy I talked to twice on Zoom call. While everyone thought it was a crazy idea, I took my chances and never looked back. After 5 years of building, failing, raising money, selling, meeting people, learning, the business took a U-turn and I decided to step down my operational role as a co-founder.

Now I'm in a path of finding my next job opportunity, meeting founders, CEOs and Country Managers. Real estate projects are my #1 choice. Doing sales consulting for a few months until I find what will excite me for the next 10 years.

I have also launched a project that helped 40,000 Ukrainian people to relocate through Europe in 2022. 
I am a board member of la French Tech Madrid
I am a lecturer in Universities and Business Schools
I help people find a remote job through a Masterclass
I own 7 apartments in France and Spain
I love meeting people with great ideas
I own a 1964 Triumph Spitfire

That's a bit about me

I am joining VIVLA as an International Sales Leader 🤩

After building Jobgether for 6 years and a hard decision to step down from my operational role, I am super pumped to join one of the most ambitious Spanish startups: VIVLA

It all started with a Linkedin post where I shared how great Vivla was. I also casually tagged the CEO Carlos and asked him if he had time for a coffee to discuss a potential collaboration. 3 weeks later, I am officially joining Vivla as part of a new team in charge of opening international markets.

VIVLA is redefining second home ownership by helping people buy, own, and sell fractions of amazing second home in the most beautiful parts of Spain (Ibiza, Menorca, Cantabria, Baqueira, Costa del Sol..). 
It's basically all the advantages of owning a home with none of the pains because VIVLA is in charge of everything.

After 15 years working in recruitment, moving sector was not easy but I knew working in Proptech is what will motivate me for the next 15 years (I hope to retire in Portugal by then). The last 6 weeks have been actually intense meeting a lot of ambitious founders, CEO and Country Directors. I knew Vivla was the right fit for me straight after my first meeting with the CEO. Thanks Carlos & Carlos for the great opportunity. 

If you are interested to learn how real estate is one of the best investments anyone can do, feel free to follow me and connect. I will be sharing tips, feedbacks and insights every week

 To this new chapter 🤩

(The picture is one of the Vivla's house you can buy a fraction of - DM if you want to know more)

I thought I like the VIVLA product
Now I absolutely love it and I am more than convinced I made the right choice in joining this startup

VIVLA is simply defined by an amazing culture, awesome colleagues, brand new office in El Viso, Madrid´s best neighbourhood and, of course, a very innovative product about to completely change the way we think secondary homes

The same way WeWork made us see how sharing offices was the future, the same way car leasing companies made us see how sharing cars was the future, VIVLA is is making us see how fractional secondary houses is the future

Why: 
✅  On average, people use their secondary homes 2 to 4 weeks per year. Still, they have to pay the whole price, all the maintenance and it becomes an expensive asset

✅  Using VIVLA allows you to access amazing homes for only a 1/8 of the price (fraction start around 100K only)

✅  It's not a TimeShare model because, here, you actually are an owner of the fraction (you sign with notary). It means your asset can be resold for a better price if you need the money

✅  You have access to the house 6 weeks per year, with a guarantee of 2 weeks during high season, 2 weeks during mid-season and 2 weeks in low season

✅  All maintenance is being handled by Vivla. Every time you arrive to the house, it's clean, the garden is perfect, the pool is clean, the beds are made and all appliance work. And you only pay 1/8 of the maintenance costs (200 to 400€ per month)

✅  If you can't make it to the house when it's your turn, Vivla can rent it out for you on Airbnb. 1 week rented usually cover your annual maintenance costs. 

✅  Cherry on the cake, thanks to a partnership with ThirdHome, you can exchange your house with up to 17,000 other luxury houses globally. Travelling will never be so cheap for you. 

So, what's the catch ?
There is only 8 fractions per house. They usually sell within a few weeks..

Anyone also think it's a great idea or you're still doubtful ?

Below some pictures of current houses VIVLA has on sale right now

The last 6 weeks have been very intense, meeting 3 to 4 people a day in the Proptech (and Tech) industry and I have been baffled by the level of energy, ambition and drive there is in Madrid

I know I am in the right place to develop my professional (and personal) life for the next 10 years

After 15 years working in recruitment, my wish was to move to the PropTech industry because it's a passion that has been growing on me in the last 10 years.
Of course, it's never easy to change sector and I was fearing companies would not want someone (close to 40) new in this industry. Yet, another great surprise was to see that most founders I met look much further than my past and tried to understand who I really was and what drives me today and tomorrow.

And, after received 3 offers last week, I have now made my mind..and will be announcing it soon

I could not be more excited to start this awesome project next week, with a team of great minds and professionals, filled with ambition, drive and willingness to succeed

Stay tuned

Ibiza isn’t just a dream destination, it’s one of Europe’s most resilient real estate markets

🏡 +20% price growth in 2 years
📈 5–6% annual rental yields
📊 90%+ occupancy during peak months

At VIVLA, our co-ownership model lets you own a share of a luxury home, enjoy it several weeks a year, and benefit from its appreciation, without the cost or hassle of full ownership

👉 Want to know more? Visit https://lnkd.in/dsjKEakv

2 weeks in VIVLA and I am already planning my first trip to Sotogrande to meet with a potential client
I have to admit the first 2 weeks have been intense and I have been learning already a lot about Spanish luxury real estate

Fractional real estate investment is not for everyone but it's a great model and it answers a clear need for people:

✅  who don't want to pay the full price of a secondary home while using it only a few weeks per year
✅  who want to access to Premium houses, fully managed and just enjoy their holidays (and nothing else)
✅  who want to be part of a worldwide network of luxury houses and be able to exchange their house with another one all around the world
✅  who is happy with having a liquid asset and be able to resell it in a few years if they want to (and make a profit out of it)
✅  who want to access markets with low housing offer (Formentera or Menorca for example)

I am already convinced by the model. 
Are you ?
Or you prefer investing in a full flat and cover all expenses yourself ?

I am looking to talk to French, Belgian, UK, German and Dutch lawyers & tax experts based in Spain. Ideally based in the Balearic and Costa Blanca region.

Feel free to recommend them by tagging them in this post
Great partnership opportunity

All Europeans love going on holidays to Spain ☀️
Costa Brava, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Costa Blanca...you name it

However, the dream of a home by the sea feels far away. Not because it is impossible, but because life gets busy, prices rise, and managing a property abroad can quickly turn into a second job

VIVLA was created to offer a better way
It's a model where you can own a real share of a beautiful home in Spain, and enjoy it for several weeks a year, without worrying about maintenance, paperwork, or logistics

Sounds like a dream, right ?

With VIVLA, your time in Spain is spent how it should be: resting, reconnecting, and living beautifully

If you had the choice to buy a fraction of a house in Spain, where would you buy ?
