iO Partners has strengthened its Austrian operations with the launch of Project & Development Services led by Aleksandra Dorninger-Potkonjak.


Following its strategic market entry earlier this year through a franchise agreement with OPTIN, iO Partners is further expanding its presence in Austria by introducing its Project & Development Services (PDS) business line. 

To lead this new phase of growth, Aleksandra Dorninger-Potkonjak has joined iO Partners Austria as Head of Project & Development Services, effective October 16, 2025. Based in Vienna, Aleksandra will work closely with OPTIN, leveraging their mutual local market expertise and client network to deliver integrated development advisory services.

With extensive experience in workplace consultancy and implementing „new ways of working” as well as project management, development consultancy, and real estate advisory, Aleksandra brings a strong combination of strategic insight and executional expertise to the Austrian team.

In her new role, Aleksandra will focus on expanding iO Partners’ Project Development Services offering to support clients throughout all stages of their real estate and workplace strategies — from concept and design to delivery and operation — ensuring that every project aligns with clients’ strategic goals, sustainability commitments, and market potential.
