Less than a year after he started, Jorge had already opened his first independent company, and from then went on to expand the business in the US, beginning with covering Florida and New York, and also South America and Europe, training affiliates that took the business to geographies as diverse as Japan, Thailand, Chile and South Africa. He founded his Portuguese and Spanish businesses in 1989.

  • Equity and Debt - New investments and refinancing for development highlights
  • Values Adjustments - Higher interest rates and pricing changes, investors rotating back to new positions?
