Reduced operating costs by implementing policies that increased the use of in-house staff,
while at the same time aggressively negotiating contracts with vendors, saving up to $100,000
annually; brought in up to $250,000 per year in management fees.
Developed and implemented new policies and procedures designed to reduce rent

with various vendors and delegated most of the out-of-state project to my direct report. Both
projects were completed on time.
Worked with local brokers and the Director of Real Estate from Fortune Brands to improve a
facility and make it attractive to new tenants. During a two year period occupancy went from 0 to
95%. We were able to secure tenants with short-term leases to help offset the operating costs
until the Master Lease with the landlord expired.
