DANVILLE, CA—The Trumark Group of Companies, a diversified real estate developer and builder, has hired veteran senior finance executive and CPA Vickie Nyland as chief financial officer for Trumark Companies, its residential development arm. She will be based in Trumark's corporate headquarters in Danville.

Nyland will be responsible for planning, implementing, managing and controlling all of Trumark's financial-related activities, including developing financial plans and forecasts, managing relationships with private and institutional lenders and overseeing the accounting and finance department.

“Vickie brings an incredible track record and a wealth of experience to the table in this new position for Trumark,” said Trumark Companies co-founder Gregg Nelson. “Her involvement will provide great support to Trumark's rapid growth trajectory. We are excited to welcome her to the team!”

After 10 years serving several homebuilding clients as a senior manager with KPMG, Nyland took Ryland Homes from start-up to maturity as vice president/controller. As senior vice president and CFO for Taylor Woodrow Homes' West region, Nyland managed financial operations in the Bay Area, Southern California and Arizona. In addition, she led a 60-employee division that produced 200 to 250 homes per year as president of Taylor Morrison's Bay Area division and oversaw financial reporting, analysis and corporate accounting as corporate controller for Wilbur Ellis, a $3 billion private global distribution company.

With offices in Danville, San Francisco and Newport Beach, Trumark has been active in the acquisition, development and sale of real estate across the state. Since the 25-year-old company launched its first homebuilding operation, Trumark Homes has opened two will communities and amassed a healthy pipeline of 2,000 lots in core urban areas.
