Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Principal investor, operator, and capital partner.
Jean Paul Szita brings more than twenty-five years of experience as a principal investor, with a track record spanning $2.8 billion in transactions across hospitality, office, and retail properties throughout the United States.
Over nearly two decades leading a Los Angeles-based investment firm, he directed acquisitions, developments, and strategic repositionings encompassing more than 4,400 hotel rooms and 1.7 million square feet of commercial space. He has operated on both sides of the table, as principal, operator, and capital partner, which shapes how he structures every deal at BEO.
His approach is rooted in discipline: conservative leverage, well-capitalized positions, and a focus on real assets with proven demand. No speculation. No short-term plays. Fundamentals first.
Guided by faith, integrity, and purpose, Jean Paul leads BEO with a simple conviction; success is earned through clarity, trust, and unwavering standards.
