James F. Flaherty III, president and COO of Health Care Property Investors, says the company chose Nevo-Hacohen for her corporate finance experience as well as her real estate investment banking skills. Nevo-Hacohen previously was affiliated with Goldman, Sachs & Co. in New York City where she was a vice president. During nearly 10 years with the firm, she held senior-level positions in the investment banking, finance operations and administration divisions. Most recently, she organized the Goldman Sachs controllers' team in its review of the firm's merchant banking portfolio and was finance officer for Goldman Sachs' build-to-suit office development project in Jersey City, NJ.

As an investment banker, Nevo-Hacohen advised and executed a broad range of financing and strategic transactions for REITs and real estate company clients. Before Goldman Sachs, Nevo-Hacohen practiced architecture and was associated with several architectural firms in New York.
