What has been the biggest challenge in your particular role and how have you overcome those obstacles? My passion has always been to create and support the implementation of winning strategies for our clients. To accomplish this, my focus has been to build a team of top industry professionals that share my values, that care and are passionate about achieving success for our clients. Early on after launching the firm the operations of the business required more of my time than I enjoyed. I therefore had to focus on building a C-Suite of top talent in their respective areas of expertise Most recently, we have expanded our C-suite, brokerage team, and in-house marketing and research teams with top talent. We have also invested in the latest technologies that allow us to provide strategic insight to our clients, streamlined our operations, and set new standards in the market. These initiatives have allowed me to focus on client relationships and service, strategies to drive value for our clients, our overall company vision and lastly but not least, supporting negotiations and successful execution of deals.
