About Jacob Wiederanders

I’m a Corporate Real Estate, Facilities, and Workplace leader with 15 years of facilities management experience. I thrive in fast paced environments and am passionate about building teams. I most recently spent 8+ years at Facebook/Meta, taking it through its ‘rocket-ship’ growth trajectory years, responsible for growing the real estate portfolio in Austin by more than 1M square feet. That portfolio growth changed post-pandemic and I have been proficient in identifying reductions and reallocations of space to align with changing company and employee needs. I’m a team builder. I believe in hiring the right people to empower a strength-based management style – and then move roadblocks out of the way to allow the team to thrive. I’ve been a trusted advisor to executives and management teams to create real estate policies, best-practices, and strategies.
