Mr. Clark is based in Chicago. He will be supported by Senior Vice President Ed Wlodarczyk, who will oversee National Corporate Service Transactions and Structured Capital Finance; and Boris Shraybman, Director of Analytics & Execution. Ed and Boris work out of the Chicago office.

In New York City, Senior Vice President Jeff Donnelley will oversee Investment Sales with Associate Director Mark Civitillo responsible for providing Analysis & Execution.

Mario Mexia, Executive Vice President and Managing Director oversees Investment Sales in the Los Angeles Metro area and directs the western region with Matthew Mexia, a CMS Vice President in Orange County.
