Professional Bio
I work with owners and operators of residential investment portfolios to bring clarity to complex operations and improve performance at scale.
With more than two decades of experience across multifamily, student housing, and single-family portfolios, my work focuses on the intersection of portfolio performance, operating model design, and systems strategy. I help leadership teams understand what’s truly happening across their assets and make informed decisions grounded in operational reality.
At Cortena Advisors, our core focus areas include:
Portfolio Performance & Diagnostic Analysis
We go beyond surface-level metrics to evaluate operational execution, cost structure, revenue discipline, and organizational alignment identifying where value is being created, where it’s being lost, and where leadership focus will have the greatest impact.
Operational Centralization & Scalable Design
As portfolios grow, complexity compounds. We help organizations intentionally design centralized operating models that improve consistency, accountability, and efficiency while preserving asset-level nuance.
Technology & Systems Strategy
Technology should enable operations, not create friction. We assess system alignment across platforms, data, automation, and AI to ensure technology supports how teams actually work and scales with the portfolio.
I founded Cortena Advisors to serve as an independent, strategic partner, bringing objectivity, pattern recognition, and a bias toward practical execution.
If you’re navigating growth or change within a residential portfolio, I welcome the conversation.
