Join us for our "What's Next in Real Estate" series focusing on current challenges, uncertainties, and innovations in the real estate industry. Dean Alex Triantis will facilitate the conversation with Mary Hogan Preusse exploring topics such as environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) in real estate, Mary's experience with Fifth Wall, the largest venture capital firm focused on the global real estate industry, and how Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have transformed over time.

Mary Hogan Preusse has over thirty years of experience in real estate, investment management, leadership, and strategy. She is the lead independent director of Kimco Realty and serves on the boards of three other public companies:  Digital Realty, Host Hotels and Resorts, and Realty Income. She previously served on the board of VEREIT, and she is also a senior advisor to Fifth Wall, the prop tech/climate tech venture capital firm. She is also a member of the board of directors of Industrious, the private flexible workspace provider.  

Prior to her current work as board director and advisor, Mary served as Managing Director and Head of Americas Listed Real Estate at APG Asset Management US, (“APG”), one of the largest institutional real estate platforms in the world. At APG, she was responsible for managing the firm’s public real estate investments in the Americas, which encompassed over $13 billion in real estate securities. During Mary’s time at APG, the firm was widely regarded as a pioneer and leader in the use of REITs as a proxy for direct real estate investment and an early adopter of requiring ESG standards for real estate investments. She also served as a member of the Executive Board of APG from 2008 until her retirement in 2017. Prior to joining APG in 2000, Mary spent eight years as a sell side analyst covering the REIT sector, and began her career at Merrill Lynch as an investment banking analyst. In 2015, she was the recipient of NAREIT’s E. Lawrence Miller Industry Achievement Award and currently serves on that organization’s Advisory Board of Governors.

Mary has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, and other financial publications, and is a frequent panelist and speaker on topics including real estate, asset management, ESG, and corporate governance best practices. She dedicates a substantial amount of time to promoting diversity on corporate boards and has a particular passion for mentoring recent college graduates and future leaders in real estate and investment management.

Mary graduated from Bowdoin College with a degree in Mathematics and has served on the College’s Board of Trustees since 2012.
