Faiza leads Casa Forma’s strategy and development initiatives as the founder and CEO of Casa Forma. After she finished business school at Stanford University (in 2006) and moved to London, she was interested in taking advantage of the property market in super prime locations of London which she felt had long term growth prospects due to international demand.
