Chuck has extensive experience in liquid real asset product management, product development, relationship management and sales, including institutional and retail distribution channels, which will be equally important drivers of future growth.

"We believe Chuck’s background in the space will be a significant factor in positioning our platform for long-term success, growth and innovation."
