From strutting down the catwalk to sealing lucrative real estate deals, Renata’s journey is nothing short of remarkable.
With an educational background from Harvard and Stanford, as well as obtaining valuable development experience in London and New York, Renata brings a unique blend of skills and experiences to her role as Senior Associate at IPG.
Renata’s career path took an unexpected turn while in London when she decided to transition from glamorous international couture houses to the fast-paced world of US commercial real estate.
During her time in the fashion industry, Renata perfected her communication, presentation, negotiation, and networking skills – all of which have proven invaluable in her role at IPG and in the representation of her clients.
“Modeling taught me how to present myself with absolute confidence and poise, whether I’m on the runway, touring a property, or in the office with my team,” Renata explains. Additionally, her background in development, investment and brokerage has equipped her with a keen eye for opportunities for her clients and provide them with strategic decision-making.
At IPG, Renata’s responsibilities as a Senior Associate involve site selection, investor relations, as well as guiding venture capitalist and founders successfully lease or purchase real estate, in the Bay Area and throughout the United States. “Every day is different, which keeps things exciting,” she says.
“I thrive on the excitement of connecting with exceptional individuals, especially here in the Bay Area, and delivering outstanding service while successfully managing their real estate needs.”
Despite the challenges of transitioning to a new industry, in a highly competitive market, Renata loves her new role at IPG. “Real estate is all about building relationships, finding creative solutions and doing excellent work for your clients and partners.” she notes.
