About

Real Estate Development Leader | Project Lifecycle Execution | ERP Consulting Background With over a decade of full-spectrum real estate development experience, I’ve led projects from acquisition through disposition — managing feasibility, permitting, construction, budgeting, and investor communications. As founder and director at Gramercy LLC, I oversaw $11M in project volume and $16M in exits, raising over $4M in investor capital and executing value-enhancing urban infill strategies across Chicago. My foundation in process and technology comes from my early career at Deloitte and Accenture, where I implemented ERP systems (SAP PS-CD, FI-CA, and New GL) for clients including AIG and the State of Michigan. These experiences embedded in me a disciplined, systems-oriented approach to managing capital, schedules, and operational risk. Today, I’m seeking to deepen my impact by contributing to a mission-driven real estate development team focused on delivering scalable, high-performance multifamily communities. I bring strong judgment, project leadership, and creative problem-solving — and I’m excited to continue learning alongside top-tier professionals in ground-up, institutional-grade development. Let’s build something great together.
