Meet Our Founder: Yan Jeffrey Ohayon

Yan Ohayon (also referenced simply as Yan Jeffrey Ohayon) is the driving force behind Simalis. With a unique blend of financial acumen, creative ambition, and an affinity for high performance, Yan has charted a path that spans real estate, motorsports, and philanthropic endeavors.

A Visionary with Many Passions

As Founder and Director of Simalis Investment, Yan brings deep experience in real estate investing, capital structuring, and property management.

Beyond real estate, Yan is a passionate motorsports enthusiast. His involvement in racing reflects a mindset of precision, discipline, and pushing limits. These same qualities carry over into how he leads Simalis: with speed where needed, patience where essential, and an unwavering attention to detail.

Under his guidance, Simalis takes carefully calculated risks, seeks out undervalued opportunities, and holds rigorously to principles of quality, ethics, and long-term value. He is deeply committed to transparency, integrity, and accountability in how the company operates—whether dealing with investors, tenants, or communities.

Yan also channels his success toward supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs. He views mentorship, strategic guidance, and community engagement as essential elements of his personal mission as well as his professional one.
