Entity & Partnership Buyouts: Identify and negotiate the acquisition of Limited Partner (LP) and General Partner (GP) interests from exiting entities to consolidate portfolio control.

Capital Structuring: Engineer complex equity and debt stacks, integrating internal capital, co‑GP partnerships, institutional endowments, and strategic equity funds to scale the acquisition platform.

Strategic Exit Management: Execute buyouts utilizing creative deal structures—including non‑cash or capital‑efficient transfers—leveraging strategic tax advantages and mission‑alignment to facilitate partner exits.

Strategic Reporting: Author high‑level investment memos and strategic analysis for the Catholic Homes Board, synthesizing financial returns, risk mitigants, and mission‑fit within the 10 counties we serve.

Deal Sourcing & Pipeline Development

Market Leadership: Maintain and expand a proprietary pipeline of off‑market opportunities through high‑level relationships with brokers, property owners, parishes, and community partners.

Feasibility Oversight: Direct market research initiatives—including sales/rent comps and demographic trends—to identify emerging opportunities for social‑service‑integrated housing.

Platform Expansion: Identify and vet new markets and partnership models to broaden the organization’s footprint and impact.

Execution & Due Diligence Management

Closing Oversight: Maintain accountability for critical dates, covenants, and contingencies to ensure timely, successful closings for all transactions.

Cross‑Functional Leadership
