“ In spite of global challenges, our commitment to a bold and sustainable growth strategy, both in Mauritius and internationally, reinforces our confidence in a promising and prosperous future for Evaco Group.”
Tell us a bit about your background and your journey with the company.
I come from a multicultural Mauritian and British background. After growing up and living in Paris, I decided to settle in Mauritius in 2008. Since then, I have had the privilege of being part of this group for 17 years, witnessing and actively participating in its remarkable evolution.
Starting my career with the group as Sales and Marketing Manager, then as a director, I was fortunate to learn the ropes of the Mauritian real estate market from the ground up. Later, moving into the role of Chief Operating Officer, I was responsible for overseeing all group operations, which allowed me to further deepen my knowledge and understanding of various industries such as construction, manufacturing, logistics and hospitality.
The group is recognized as a leader in real estate in Mauritius. How did you navigate recent challenges?
The past few years have brought unprecedented challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic led to significant challenges, including a surge in construction costs, delays in imports due to a foreign currency shortage, administrative holdups, and a scarcity of skilled labour. I am extremely proud of how our team adapted, persisted, and ultimately came out stronger. Our team spirit and the collective strength we demonstrate are, without a doubt, the pillars of our ongoing success.
How would you describe your vision and what makes your projects stand out in such a competitive market?
Our group has always prioritized innovation, and that will never change. Even in the face of major obstacles, we manage to find solutions, whether through new partnerships, technology, or rethinking our construction methods.
Our upcoming projects Cap Marina and Nautica Villas in the north of the island will be unlike any other in Mauritius, bringing unique value both to future residents and to the broader community.
Being a proud Mauritian company, we are deeply committed to contributing positively to our community: creating jobs, supporting local suppliers, and developing sustainable, forward-thinking neighborhoods that benefit the entire region.
Any final thoughts or messages you’d like to share?
I want to sincerely thank our stakeholders, partners, and clients for their continued trust in us. Our ambition is not only to set trends in the real estate sector, but to add lasting value to all our stakeholders. As CEO, I will continue to foster a culture of integrity, creativity, and collective achievement within the group. The years ahead promise to be full of challenges, but even more so, of opportunities. Together, I am confident we will turn them into continued successes.
I would like to pay tribute to our Chairman and Founder Mr Arnaud Mayer, whose vision, dynamism, and remarkable entrepreneurial spirit have been the driving force behind our group’s success over the past 23 years. Thanks to his bold ideas and relentless determination, he managed to create not just a company, but a dynamic and leading group in the Mauritian real estate industry. I feel deeply grateful and privileged to have had the opportunity to collaborate with a leader of his caliber, and I wish to sincerely thank him for his trust.
Working alongside such an inspiring entrepreneur has taught my colleagues and I the value of thinking outside the box, staying proactive, and always pushing beyond our perceived limits. This is the spirit I actively nurture within our team today, one that encourages innovation, dynamism, and a willingness to embrace new challenges with creativity and enthusiasm.
I am very proud of our collaborators, whose commitment and professionalism make all our achievements possible. Together, driven by shared values and an entrepreneurial mindset, we aim to keep building on this legacy of excellence for years to come.
