Experience

1. Chief Operating Officer

   Peninsula Land & Capital

   Aug 2025 — Present · Palo Alto, CA, US

   As the COO of Peninsula Land & Capital, a full-service commercial real estate company in the San Francisco Bay Area, I lead all operations relating to our growing portfolio of commercial and light industrial properties, now approaching 5 million square feet and well over 40 properties. Over two decades, PLC has successfully expanded the portfolio to its current level, stretching from San Francisco to San Jose and the East Bay.PLC\'s success is grounded in a focused strategy on two key real estate sectors - office and industrial. We combine this with a deep understanding of the San Francisco Bay Area market, which enables us to pinpoint the best investment opportunities and manage properties effectively. This geographic specialization is enhanced by strong relationships with local banks, keeping us closely connected to the lending market, a critical element for successful real estate investments.At Peninsula Capital, our approach is straightforward yet powerful: we invest using our own capital alongside investor funds, manage properties in-house, and distribute profits monthly back to investors. Our in-house construction team is a unique aspect of our business model, enabling us to swiftly and cost-effectively carry out tenant improvements and property renovations. This not only enhances the appeal and value of our properties but also demonstrates our commitment to hands-on management and investment.Beyond property management, we focus on creating recurring income and growth opportunities for our investors. By striving for maximum occupancy and carefully managing each property, we strive to deliver outstanding returns, offering not just a property but a profitable and sustainable investment.
