I'm Trey Whitfield. I'm interested in the physical layer of the global economy: the people and cultures that run it, the infrastructure and supply chains that power it, and how it all works together on the ground.

About

I focus on real estate, infrastructure and trade: the buildings and trade routes that move people and goods around the world.

I was born in California, raised in Bulgaria, and now study in Hong Kong. I've lived in 9 cities across 6 countries and travelled to 40+, which gave me a deep appreciation for how different places work, and a habit of comparing how each one solves the same problems.

I study at HKU and have spent exchange semesters at NYU Stern and Peking University. I speak English, Mandarin, Bulgarian and Spanish, plus enough Cantonese to order at a cha chaan teng.

What's next

I graduate in December 2026 and I'm looking for full-time roles in real estate investment, acquisitions and infrastructure starting in 2027.
