Originally hailing from London, Charles studied languages at Oxford University before taking his first jobs in real estate and marketing.  In 1987 he moved to Paris, France, and worked with Weatherall Green & Smith, (WG&S) one of the world’s largest real estate brokerage firms, as the director of management buyout.  WG&S was subsequently sold to market leader Savills plc.
