An investment background, applied to real estate.
One of the key influences behind the company was the founder's entrepreneurial and investment background. Before relocating to Thailand, Philipp Maximilian Siemes had already founded and operated companies in Germany, and later gained experience working with family offices and investment structures.
In those environments, clearly defined responsibilities, structured decision making, financial discipline and long term asset performance were fundamental. When he entered Phuket's real estate market, the contrast was hard to miss.
A developer's offer first brought him to Thailand, and after a year working on that side of the business, the decision was to build something independent rather than continue executing someone else's model. That decision became Liviton: a group built to apply the same discipline he had seen in investment structures back in Germany to the full lifecycle of a property in Phuket.
