Sr Director of Real Estate for Rivian Automotive Responsible for scaling and optimizing the company’s real estate portfolio and strategy for: • Workplace (Office, R&D, & Testing)• Production (Manufacturing, Logistics & SC)• Commercial (Retail, Service, Delivery & Charging Networks)I’m proud to be a 12-year CBRE veteran, a partner during this time on CBRE’s #1 industrial brokerage team in Southern California. CBRE is the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm. I remain very close with my partners Craig Peters, Bennett Robinson, and Doug Sonderegger, who are among the company’s most accomplished and well-respected professionals. In 2018 I left CBRE to join a rapidly growing Los Angeles-based real estate and technology startup company accumulating a real estate portfolio in major cities around the world to support its core business. I led the West Coast U.S. Real Estate Acquisitions efforts, and collaborated to develop many of the company’s acquisitions and due diligence processes/playbooks. I was also responsible for many of the company’s corporate real estate needs including the relocation, and subsequent expansion, of its global corporate headquarters, as well as opening of other R&D and satellite office locations.
