GlobeSt.com Honors Female Investment Professionals, Owners

In preparation for our Women of Influence special feature and retreat, GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum and GlobeSt.com together is putting a spotlight on the achievements of women in commercial real estate.

This year, we collected nominations across a number of fields, and will celebrate the winners at our GlobeSt. Women of Influence Conference in Park City, UT. This year’s amount of entries was our biggest yet.

This particular category was open to professionals involved in CRE ownership and investment—such as direct investors, acquisition leads, analysts or asset, portfolio and fund managers—within a private or public commercial real estate organization.

The women chosen in this category have played a significant role in expanding or repositioning her firm’s portfolio and balance sheet over the past year in response to market trends, and exhibit a proven acumen for crafting investment strategies, evaluating risk and maximizing profits.

The top women in the category of investment professional/owner chosen this year are as follows:

Jordan Arriaga, Worth & Associates

Carol Cline-Ong, MDL Group

Laura Craft, Heitman

Cynthia M. Daly, Four Springs Capital Trust

Kelli Fitzpatrick, VanTrust Real Estate

Alicia K. Glen, MSquared

Natalie Atun Greenberg, MJW Investments

Kim Hourihan, CBRE Global Investors

Linda Houston, Barings

Louise Kavanagh, Nuveen Real Estate

Karen E. Kennedy, National Asset Services / NAS Investment Solutions

Tuba Malinowski, Stockbridge

Susan D. Reber, Real Estate Asset Strategies

Susan Reese, Madison Partners

Vicky Schiff, Mosaic Real Estate Credit

Jennifer Stevens, Alliance Global Advisors

As always, our seasoned editorial team was seeking the best of the best across the commercial real estate spectrum. In evaluating the entries, we took into account a number of factors, including: the nominee’s impact on, and reputation within, her firm and broader professional community; the nominee’s professional career highlights, from dealmaking savvy and innovation to client satisfaction and personal growth; a proven ability to achieve goals and display ingenuity in terms of creative thinking and problem solving; her dedication to furthering the development of her field and the role of women within it; accomplishments and involvement in her company, the CRE industry and broader social community;  a personal commitment to the highest ethical standards, service and excellence; and so much more.

The Annual GlobeSt. Women of Influence Conference celebrates the women who drive the commercial real estate industry forward. These influential leaders will discuss the critical issues facing CRE now and in the future, what it means to be a woman in business today and CRE’s place in the #MeToo era. They will discuss what they are doing to promote diversity in the upper levels of management and what the industry can do to position itself for a more inclusive future.
