Van Stults - Founding Partner of Orion Capital Managers.

Privately owned Orion is a leading European real estate private equity firm founded in 1999 by its 3 partners, Aref, Van and Bruce. With offices in London, Madrid, Milan, and Paris, Orion operates across major European markets, leveraging its local presence and extensive network to identify and capitalize on outstanding investment opportunities.

Van has had a phenomenal career spanning more than 40 years. Prior to setting up Orion he was a member of the board of directors of Lasalle, a Managing Director, a member of the Operating Committee and head of European investment activities. Van also established Lasalle's European offices in London and Paris in 1990.

I sat down with Van to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:

* How he got into real estate

* International trends in capital raising

* Orion business model  

* Where to allocate opportunistic capital in Europe

* Shared business vision with co-founders Aref and Bruce

* Creating high performing, aligned, international teams

* Panorama St Pauls – HSBC’s global HQ

Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place would Van invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
