In this episode of Samuel Leeds Success Stories, Patricia sits down with architect-turned-property investor Igor to uncover his incredible journey from a small Russian town to working on projects with global brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Bentley.
Egor reveals how burnout led him to pivot into property investing, detailing his first Oxford refurb, the luxury philosophy behind his serviced accommodation business, and the bold leap to acquire a Lake District hotel through a creative deal. Now a mentor at the Samuel Leeds Academy, Igor shares the mindset shifts, lessons learned, and design principles that continue to shape his success.
