Subject: Chief Information/Technology Officer
Everyone,
If anyone knows a senior level IT person who is looking for a new home or who is ready to move to the #1 IT position at a growing firm, please put them in touch with me!
Harbor Group is seeking to fill a newly created Chief Information Officer position. Ideally, the position will be based in Norfolk, VA, but a location at our New York office is also a possibility if that is the person's preference . The perfect candidate will have multifamily real estate experience as either the number 1 or 2 person in a mid to large size real estate company ("minimum" 400 employees and 30 locations), and they would have developed the IT function at their company, or had a significant role in developing it or managing it.
Real estate experience is not an absolute necessity - a person with financial services experience or investment firm experience would be very good.
Harbor Group is a privately-held, 25 year old company with $2.7 billion of assets under management, with the expectation of rapid growth into 2011, especially in the multifamily sector but we are active in commercial RE as well. Currently, our assets are split equally between apartments and office properties.
Our IT function needs to be ramped up significantly, so we need someone who will enjoy building it. They need to be a jack of all trades, but the greatest accountabilities will be developing the technology strategy, deciding on resource needs and obtaining them, and implementing the strategy.
As many of you know, I moved to Norfolk, Va ifrom Chicago in 2007 to take the top HR position at Harbor Group. We REALLY liked Chicago, but the Norfolk/Va Beach area has has significant advantages and is a great place to raise a family. The Atlantic Ocean is a 20 minute drive down the interstate from our office, water sports abound, the mountains are an easy 3 hour drive, and the public university system is outstanding, with UVA, William and Mary, Va Tech and others. And we live in a state that isn't going bankrupt! (unlike ILLinois).
