Approach
01
What he actually does
Build
Businesses. Teams. Commercial engines.
Companies structured from the ground up, revenue teams assembled and led, and the operating discipline that makes performance repeatable.
Open
Markets. Relationships. Opportunities.
New markets and client channels entered, and cross-industry relationships turned into introductions that would not otherwise happen.
Deliver
Transactions. Growth. Outcomes.
Mandates won, deals closed and businesses put back on track, with results measured commercially rather than in activity.
Expertise
02
Two disciplines, one operator
Two fields he knows from the inside, and the same instinct in both: read what is really going on, build the structure, and turn access into results.
01
Real estate
Fifteen years in real estate, from Luxembourg and eastern France to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. He builds commercial operations from the ground up: departments, CRM, lead engines and the first sales, then installs the team and the discipline that make performance repeatable.
In Dubai he leads on prime and off-plan for private clients and international investors, with direct access to developers.
02
Hospitality
In hospitality he co-founded Liaisons & Manières, a high-end consultancy that repositions venues and turns them into destinations. As reported by Khaleej Times, he has turned a fine-dining restaurant into one of Dubai's most talked-about tables and staged a single evening drawing close to a thousand guests, a record turnout for the venue.
He advises internationally through Retail Experts Group and FEBC.
Arnaud combines commercial drive with structured leadership. He understands how to generate performance while building the processes and discipline required to sustain it over time.Umar Kamani · Founder, PrettyLittleThing and Kamani Living

03
Current mandate
Arnaud currently serves as Managing Director of Preeminent Properties, working alongside founder Abdallah Lemsagam, an internationally connected entrepreneur with a background in professional football representation and club ownership.
He advises private clients and international investors on prime and off-plan real estate across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. His command of the francophone market is a distinct commercial advantage, opening a direct channel for European and francophone capital entering the Gulf.

Method
05
Access, execution, outcomes
Access opens the door. Execution is what happens after it. The value is not in who he knows, but in knowing who should meet whom, why the conversation matters, and how to turn it into a commercial result.
Execution
The operator's craft: reading the situation, structuring the opportunity, building the team, negotiating and solving the problem in the room.
Outcomes
Mandates, transactions, partnerships, market entry, capital and growth. The point of the relationship is always a tangible commercial result.
A network is not an audience. It is an operating advantage.

How a relationship becomes an outcome
Fifteen years building relationships across industries.
The value is not in the names. It is in knowing who should meet whom, why the conversation matters, and how to move it toward a commercial outcome.

Capabilities
07
When to call him
Arnaud is most valuable in businesses with real potential but insufficient commercial traction. He builds the structure, relationships, positioning and momentum that move them from present in a market to relevant within it.
Enter a market
Open new markets and client channels, create demand and build the commercial engine that turns access into revenue.
Build the engine
Assemble, structure and lead revenue-driven teams, and install the processes and discipline that sustain performance.
Real estate leadership
Prime and off-plan in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, private clients and international investors, with direct access to developers.
Make the deal
Reposition businesses, venues and profiles, and turn high-level relationships into introductions, mandates and closed transactions.
Fix what's broken
When a business is stalling, losing money or drifting, he comes in, audits what is actually broken and takes control. He rebuilds the structure, fixes the team and the commercials, and puts the company back on track. Not advice from the sidelines. Hands on the operation until it runs again.
