About Kris Broder

I have spent more than 30 years in commercial real estate. Over time, I have learned that success is not just about the asset. It is about the people behind it.My work has centered on growth, client relationships, and understanding what customers and end users truly need. At RCKRBX, I lead business development. I work closely with owners and operators to help them think clearly about who they are serving and how to align decisions with that reality. Sometimes that happens before a project begins. Other times it means helping a team reset and move forward with more clarity.What gives me the most energy is helping people. I enjoy meeting new people, expanding my network, and making thoughtful introductions. I look for ways to support others, especially women building careers and leading businesses.I am also a wife and a mom. Those roles have shaped how I lead. They have taught me perspective, patience, and the importance of showing up consistently. I try to bring that same steadiness into my work.I believe relationships built on trust and follow through matter more than quick wins. Much of my career has been about being someone people can rely on.Outside of work, I serve as an advisor to Friendship Circle of Maryland, an organization that supports young adults with special needs and the students who partner with them.If you would ever like to connect, I am always open to a conversation.

   With more than 30 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry, I\'ve witnessed first-hand the industry’s challenges, evolution and growth. I spent the first 20 years of my career in leasing, building lasting relationships with brokers, tenants, industry partners, and other key constituencies before transitioning to the role of Executive Vice President, Customer Experience.Throughout my tenure at BECO Management, I cultivated a nuanced perspective of the industry, and an understanding of what is required to thrive in an ever-changing CRE environment. I am excited to bring these skills and experiences to my new role as the EVP, Business Development at RCKRBX™, a revolutionary demand-side data intelligence platform to better inform real estate investment, development, and marketing decision making.RCKRBX™ is the first real estate data intelligence platform to offer real-time, demand-side insights based on comprehensive responses from thousands of current and prospective renters within specific markets. The platform delivers actionable intelligence around the preferences, attitudes and viewpoints that drive renter decision-making and how such factors will impact asset NOI, competitive performance and returns once on market. The power of the platform comes from real-time human insights and their connections to familiar real estate market metrics and supply-side data, making it possible to paint far more holistic, accurate, and predictive pictures of a project’s future, the populations who will live there, and the premiums they will pay, for what and why.
