A Letter From Stewart Wangard
Dear Colleagues & Friends:
Today, I am proud to announce the next chapter for Wangard Partners.
We began as a small organization three decades ago – me and one other person. Today, Wangard Partners has become the region’s leading commercial real estate firm and the largest Hispanic developer in the state. We have grown to include development services in multifamily, industrial, grocery anchored retail and office. We are known as a high performing investment company and provide the highest quality property management services. Through the years, the quality of our work has been recognized through countless awards and accolades, and to this day, Wangard remains dedicated to quality service, community-building and integrity – core values that I established with this company 30 years ago. With our past growth and success, it is prudent to continue to plan for Wangard Partners’ future growth and success.
We are pleased to move forward with the implementation of our long-term succession plan, which includes emerging leaders who will take on key, new roles in the company, as well as the creation of a new Board of Directors.
Matt Moroney will serve as President and Chief Operating Officer, broadening his well-established leadership in the company’s operations and in the community. Matt is a respected leader, and as President and COO, he will draw on his strength and experience collaborating with and unifying diverse groups of individuals and organizations. Burton Metz will expand his role to serve as President of Investments & Acquisitions and will continue to spearhead and innovate critical aspects of our business and drive new opportunities for our investors and partners. We will begin the next great chapter of Wangard Partners with an exceptional leadership team that includes many emerging leaders who will help our company grow.
We are also forming a Board of Directors to help guide the company’s future, which is a direct result of the natural evolution of our leadership team. In addition to continuing to serve as CEO, I will be Chairman of the Board of Directors, which will also include Matt Moroney, Burton Metz and Kyle Dieringer. The Board of Directors will steer the company and build on our successes to benefit the Wangard team, its vendors, its various partners, and its valued investors. In the years to come, Wangard will expand the Board of Directors to include additional leaders who provide extraordinary value and results.
Today’s announcement reflects the natural evolution in our company. The success of Wangard has been and will continue to be the result of an exceptionally talented leadership team and staff. The depth and strength of the Wangard team has been central in the success of our company.
Wangard Partners is not only a part of who I am, but the Wangard team is family, and I am incredibly proud of our entire team. The foundation of the Wangard story has been written over the last three decades, and the next chapter will be one of excitement and fulfillment not only for me personally, but for our investors, our partners and the Wangard family. We look forward to embarking on this exciting new chapter in our company’s future together.
With Gratitude,
