ABOUT BRANDON COHEN
Director of Asset Management at Harbert Management, where I oversee portfolio strategy, capital execution, and value creation across a diversified U.S. value-add real estate platform spanning industrial, retail, multifamily, office, and self-storage. My work sits at the intersection of operations, leasing, capital markets, joint venture management, and investment decision-making. I lead business plan execution across acquisitions, lease-up, repositioning, refinancing, recapitalization, and disposition strategies, with a focus on downside protection, liquidity, and risk-adjusted returns. Over the course of my career, I have executed more than $1.6 billion of dispositions, refinancings, and recapitalizations across 4,400+ units and 7.4M+ square feet. I work closely with senior leadership, operating partners, lenders, and counterparties to align asset-level execution with fund objectives, capital allocation priorities, and investor expectations. I serve on NAREIM’s Asset Management Committee and hold a BBA and MBA in Finance and Real Estate from the University of Alabama, along with the CFA charter.
