I can't wait to help this team continue its growth and leverage my experience to serve our customers in meaningful and effective ways so they can focus on their own success and organizational priorities."

Since entering the region in 2011, Foundry Commercial has experienced significant growth in the Carolinas, building a team of more than 110 associates in its Raleigh and Charlotte offices and growing its retail managed portfolio to12 million square feet platform-wide.
