Clarity,
before the conversation.

Eva Maria Schmack is the founder of Eva Maria Private Office, a selective Dubai-based private practice for trusted introductions, cultural access, and personal counsel. Her career spans luxury hospitality, fashion, retail, financial services, and partnerships across Munich, Manhattan, Monaco, the wider MENA region, and Dubai.

Eva Maria Private Office is a one-to-one, relationship-led practice. Eva works directly with each client on considered introductions, cultural access, and personal social counsel. It has no account managers, public client roster, or catalogue of access; each engagement is shaped around one principal and a defined need.

Eva’s fifteen-year career includes roles with Mandarin Oriental in Munich and Dubai, King & Grove Hotels in Manhattan, Chalhoub Group, Century Financial Brokers, and Al Tayer Group. Across hospitality, fashion, marketing, private-client retail, and partnerships, she developed an approach built on service, judgment, discretion, and trusted relationships.

Eva earned a bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Administration and Management from Glion Institute of Higher Education and a Master of Science in Luxury Retail Management from the International University of Monaco. In 2019, she also completed a Harvard Summer Program covering marketing management and the political economy of globalization.

Eva speaks German at native or bilingual proficiency and English at full professional proficiency. These language skills accompany a career developed across Germany, the United States, Monaco, and the United Arab Emirates, with professional work extending across the wider MENA region.

The Private Office considers focused six-week mandates for a move, new chapter, or social reset; a limited number of annual retained relationships; and small, invitation-only Private Tables. The common thread is a need for considered introductions, cultural access, or personal counsel that benefits from direct, individual attention.

No. The Private Office is a personally held advisory relationship, not a booking desk, membership club, or volume concierge. Eva does not offer a catalogue of contacts or guaranteed access. Introductions are considered only when there is a credible reason for both people to welcome them.

Eva is based in Dubai and works with a deliberately limited practice. Her professional perspective was shaped across Munich, Manhattan, Monaco, Dubai, and the wider MENA region. A mandate may suit people whose lives move across cities, circles, and seasons, provided Eva believes she can add genuine value.

Begin with the private request form and share a short, candid note about where you are based, what brings you to the Private Office, and what you would like Eva to understand. Eva reads each request personally. If the fit appears right, a considered reply and private conversation follow.

Requests are reviewed privately and with discretion. The Private Office does not publish a client list or use private relationships as public case studies. While no website can replace appropriate legal or security advice, discretion is a stated operating principle from the first note onward.

No. Submitting the form does not guarantee a reply, engagement, invitation, or introduction. Eva accepts a limited number of mandates and proceeds only where she believes the fit is appropriate and she can add genuine value. Any introduction also depends on a meaningful reason for both parties to welcome it.

A focused Private Network Architecture mandate begins at €7,500 for one principal over six weeks. Annual retained Private Office relationships are offered by invitation, and Private Tables are invitation only. The exact scope, timing, and fee are confirmed privately before any engagement begins.
