After graduating in law and business I started my own company. After many years as a multi family officer I decided in 2010 to start my own investment company with investments in many different asset classes – real estate, renewables and private equity, in Germany and in countries like Canada, USA, Brazil or Vietnam.
The term »MAHALO« has Hawaiians roots and means gratitude or thank you. We named our company after this beautiful Hawaiian term because we feel incredibly grateful for our extraordinary partners, for our outstanding team, for all service providers we trustfully work with, for all the opportunities which are always come up, for the incredible development of our holdings and for everything we were and are blessed to experience in the past and the present.
We feel the strong need to use our experience, our knowledge, our network and our capital to support our existing or new partners in their ventures in order to create a better world for as many people as possible. Every single day. We highly appreciate our partner’s efforts to delight their customers, to build their company’s strength and to control its costs.
