Fuchs-Boenisch’s qualifications include first class BA honours in business administration for property management and real estate, a master's in Property Valuation and Law from Bayes Business School at City University of London, and the status of Chartered Surveyor (MRICS). Her career began at CBRE in London, as a surveyor specializing in international valuations and shopping centre development. Staying in London, she spent 5 years at EY, where she worked in the Real Estate Valuation and Business Modelling department before moving on to Project and Process Management in Energy and Assets, managing several projects with a focus on stakeholder management on large scale transformation programmes. She then extended her investment management experience at Henley Investment Management, where she led on several deals with a combined investment volume of £300m, with assets ranging from student accommodation, office, light industrial, residential development to strategic land.

In 2017, Fuchs-Boenisch became Head of Transactions at Arax Properties Ltd, a private equity firm for real estate investments in Germany, the UK and France, where she managed all transactions in Germany, dividing her time between offices in Berlin and London. Working on deals such as the acquisition of Poseidon Haus in Hamburg and the sale of the Seidnitz Center in Dresden, her responsibilities included coordinating due diligence processes, leading contract negotiations, sourcing of senior financing, and supervising and managing a team of associates and analysts.
