A native of Cannes, France, Charlotte was introduced to the world of commercial real estate while scouting retail spaces for the expansion of her photography gallery at the time into the New York City market. In the process, Charlotte noticed the dynamic and client-driven nature of the commercial real estate market, ultimately selling her gallery and quickly achieving her goal of becoming a full-time commercial real estate broker in 2013.

She started her career in a boutique firm that specializes in high-end retail leasing, learning the ins and outs of commercial real estate transactions. Charlotte then focused on working with investors and owners at the highest end of New York City's luxury residential market as part of the Daniela Kunen Team at Douglas Elliman.

In 2018, Charlotte returned to the commercial real estate world, joining former colleague David Baker at Baker New York. While her official title was Director of Client Services, the size and nature of the firm allowed Charlotte opportunities to contribute in countless ways, including active engagement across every stage of every transaction, ensuring outstanding client service and execution along the way. She kept an active eye on openings and opportunities in the market, ensuring consistent and efficient service and idea generation to a highly discerning client base.

Charlotte is now a Director and part of the Baker Team at Sinvin, where she continues to assist and advise clients on retail locations, office requirements and other commercial real estate needs. Some of the most recent transactions from David and Charlotte include a retail lease for Dries Van Noten in Los Angeles, an office lease for Jayaram Law in the Flatiron District in New York City, a retail lease for Altuzarra on Madison Avenue in New York City, a showroom lease for an innovative and contemporary furniture company in NoMad in New York City and a building purchase for a production company in Brooklyn.
