Levin Management Corp. has named a new chief financial officer, promoting one of its longtime executives during what it says is a period of significant growth.

The retail real estate services firm announced that it named Paul Tavaglione to the position of vice president and CFO after more than 15 years with the company. The Bridgewater resident previously served as the deputy chief financial officer for the North Plainfield-based firm, a position he held since last year.
“Being part of the LMC team for the last 16 years has been rewarding both professionally and personally, and I am grateful for the opportunity to take on this new role,” Tavaglione said. “Our company is experiencing a period of tremendous growth, and it is exciting to be part of expanding our business and continuing to enhance our service to clients.”
Tavaglione joined LMC as controller in 2001 and became assistant vice president in 2007, the firm said in a news release. As chief financial officer, he is responsible for the integrity of LMC’s financial reporting, as well as its finance, accounting, budgeting, credit, cash management and lease administration functions.
He also works closely to ensure financial integrity at LMC’s leased and managed properties, the news release said. He serves as liaison with third-party owners/clients and supports them with various due diligence work.
“This promotion recognizes the significant contribution Paul makes at our firm and the inherent value he brings to our clients,” said Matthew K. Harding, LMC’s president. “Paul is a results-driven professional, and a valued, dedicated member of our senior management team. We are pleased to see him step into this important role as we continue to grow the LMC portfolio.”
Prior to joining LMC, Tavaglione was an accounting supervisor at Edison Properties. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Wilkes University.
