Facing the challenge of transitioning from a family office to an institutional platform, a fast-growing real estate investment firm enlisted the expertise of Pacific Executive Search.

This candidate also brought extensive experience in FP&A, M&A diligence, pricing strategy, and Yardi systems, positioning the investment firm for successful growth and institutionalization. The placement was on-site in Southern California.
