Began "career" on Wall Street, ultimately helping build Kidder Peabody's Financial Futures department; Got recruited to the London International Financial Futures Exchange and ran their US office and marketing programs; Got recruited to NatWest Markets to oversee their global investment banking relationships; Started new career in executive search with Hadley Lockwood specializing in financial services, investment banking, sales, etc; Got recruited to Rhodes Associates and executed searches in all disciplines of real estate finance, investing, development, portfolio management, etc. Got laid off 9 days after 9/11 (while evacuated from my lower Manhattan apartment, just steps from Ground Zero); Was quickly picked up by former colleagues from that firm who started their own real estate retained executive search practice, Equinox Partners, and have been with them ever since!
