Jean had aspirations of becoming a property developer early in life and he undertook a Civil Engineering Degree in Beirut, Lebanon. Due to the Lebanese civil war, Jean migrated to Australia in 1988 where he immediately commenced work in the construction industry establishing a formwork, concreting and steel fixing company.

He later obtained his Australian Builders Licence in 1992 and created what would later become known as the Toplace Group, commencing his first residential property development project located in Boundary Street, Parramatta in Sydney’s western suburbs. In 2006, Jean completed a Master of Science in the field of Construction Management from Somerset University.
