About Steven Trombley

I am a strategic finance executive with experience driving growth, investment discipline, and capital strategy across the hospitality, real estate development, and construction sectors.Currently serving as Chief Financial Officer at LG Group in Chicago, I help lead a vertically integrated platform spanning real estate development, construction, and interior design — aligning financial strategy with entrepreneurial vision to create lasting value.Prior to LG, I spent more than ten years with AJ Capital Partners, where I helped build and scale Graduate Hotels and led financial strategy, transaction execution, and capital markets initiatives across a diverse portfolio of hospitality and mixed-use assets.Throughout my career, I’ve executed more than $2 billion in single-asset and portfolio financings and participated in over 40 real estate acquisitions, while also leading teams through complex transactions, fund-level restructurings, and rapid organizational growth.My approach blends creativity with financial rigor — connecting data, people, and strategy to drive results. I’m passionate about building enduring platforms, empowering teams, and shaping organizations that invest thoughtfully in both people and place.
