I have spent 35 years in the retail industry, moving from my start as a Sears employee to the President and CEO of JLL’s Americas Retail business. JLL is the largest third-party manager of retail property in the U.S. with 125-million-square-feet under management along with specialized leasing, marketing, development, tenant representation, investment sales and financing and consulting services. I have been a court-appointed receiver for 20 years, and for more than 100 properties, and serve as the head of JLL’s receivership practice for all asset types including: office, industrial, retail, hotels, land, multifamily, healthcare and senior housing. Prior to my current role at JLL, I held roles at ERE Yarmouth Retail, Compass Retail, Equity Property and Development Company and Homart Development. I sit on the Board of Trustees for the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), and am a Certified Retail Property Executive (CRX) and Certified Shopping Center Manager (CSM).
