Q: Talk to me about how that move came about and why you decided to move away from the institutional world to a small entrepreneurial property company.

Q: What led to the move from Morgan Stanley to Tishman, Spier, and later to Green Oak?
He describes the disruptive climate after Lehman, a preference for private real estate over public volatility, and an opportunity from Eric Adler to move to Tishman, followed by a long-term collaboration with John Carrefele and Sunny (now leadership at BGO/SLC) that culminated in founding Green Oak and later merging with Bentall Kennedy to scale the platform.
Toby Phelps, Co-President of BGO - From Lehman Collapsing Next Door to Leading a $100 Billion Real Estate Platform
