J.G. Petrucci Co. Inc. has announced a promotion within its property management team.

The Asbury-based developer said Wednesday that it elevated Joni Elekes to director of property management. In the new position, she will continue to be responsible for the operational integrity and overall tenant satisfaction of Petrucci’s commercial, industrial and retail assets throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
“We are thrilled to announce this promotion,” said Jim Petrucci, the company’s founder and president. “Joni has displayed an incredible ability to collaborate, lead and think strategically which is essential to our property management efforts and reputation.”
Elekes joined J.G. Petrucci in 2014 as property manager, bringing more than 22 years of accounting, human resources and management experience, according to a news release. The firm cited her diverse background, which has enabled her to craft and implement strategies to enhance its property management services.
“Joni’s promotion is a direct result of the positive improvements she has made to our property management efforts over the last five years,” said Joe Correia, J.G. Petrucci’s executive vice president. “Her strong attention to detail coupled with her in-depth knowledge of operations has streamlined the procedures within our property management division while benefitting our valued tenants and client.”
The firm highlighted Elekes’ other pursuits, which include serving as co-chair of the social media committee for CREW Lehigh Valley and as vice president of Catasauqua Main Streets. The latter focuses on revitalizing the borough’s downtown business district.
