What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and operational excellence.

I am a dynamic and results-oriented executive with over 20 years of experience in property management and operations. My career has been defined by a proven track record of driving operational excellence, improving property value, and leading high-performing teams. I am adept at strategic planning, financial management, and enhancing customer satisfaction, which has allowed me to excel in my current role as Vice President of Portfolio Management at McCormack Baron Management.

In my role, I supervise a staff of three direct reports and over 100 subordinate employees, ensuring that our portfolio of 7,000 units across multiple states and territories is maintained to the highest standards. I lead interdepartmental collaboration efforts, develop training strategies, and implement comprehensive programs that promote optimum operational and financial performance. My focus on continuous improvement and effective communication has been integral to our success, allowing us to provide high-quality, sustainable housing for the long term.
