Our Client
Our client was a highly accomplished real estate asset management executive with deep experience across office, multifamily, flex, and retail assets. Over the course of his career, he had demonstrated strong leadership, operational discipline, and an ability to drive value across complex portfolios. However, shifting market conditions led to an unexpected transition, placing him back in the job market. While confident in his core skill set, the client faced two key challenges: (1) standing out in a competitive market with a growing supply of senior-level asset management talent, and (2) pivoting toward industrial assets, a sector he was eager to enter but in which he had limited direct experience.
Our Solution
We began by repositioning the client’s experience to emphasize transferable value rather than narrow asset-class exposure, ensuring his background aligned with how target firms evaluate leadership impact. This repositioning was reflected across fully redesigned resumes and updated professional profiles, including his LinkedIn profile, creating a consistent and compelling executive narrative across all touchpoints.
We then activated 20/20 Foresight’s Networking at Scale approach, marketing the client’s profile to a highly curated universe of firms where his experience would be viewed as an advantage rather than a gap. As conversations progressed, we provided role-specific interview preparation, helping the client clearly articulate how his skills translated to the needs of each platform. Finally, we advised through offer evaluation and negotiation, securing an outcome that satisfied both professional and personal priorities.
Success
The 20/20 Foresight Executive Marketing process generated 26 job inquiries, resulting in 12 interviews and 2 competitive offers. Ultimately, our client accepted a role as Director of Industrial Asset Management with a highly prestigious private real estate firm specializing in the nationwide development of high-quality industrial and multifamily properties.
The position delivered exactly what our client was seeking: a strategic transition into industrial assets, broader leadership responsibilities, and increased compensation compared to his prior role. Equally important, the opportunity allowed him to remain in Houston, the market where he wanted to continue living and building his career.
