VP of Product

About our client

Our client helps commercial tenants make better real estate decisions that drive the operational needs and growth of their business.

An unprecedented convergence of major forces is upending the traditional norms of commercial real estate, creating an immediate opportunity for innovation in a multi-billion dollar market.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced companies to completely rethink their use of real estate, both near and long-term.

As of January 2022, all companies issuing US GAAP and IASB financial statements are required to comply with new standards.

The current state of lease management consists of off-line work and legacy software tools that are ripe for disruption.

Our client aspires to be the platform where all commercial real estate decisions are made, facilitating the access to data and collaboration required by all stakeholders in the business.

Their team’s unique combination of commercial real estate (JLL), proptech (VTS, ProCore, WeWork), and management consulting experience (Boston Consulting Group) positions them to understand and execute on the problems facing their customers.
