First National Realty Partners has promoted Sam Collier to chief revenue officer, touting his role in bolstering its standing with national accounts and major retailers.
In his new position, Collier will lead leasing operations and oversee revenue-focused initiatives that support the Red Bank-based firm’s strategic growth and enhance performance across its nationwide portfolio, according to a news release. That includes driving deal volume, improving its tenant mix and expanding partnerships with national and regional retailers, along with working with its acquisitions, asset management and operations teams to strengthen asset performance and advance initiatives that enhance leasing execution, generate new income and deliver long-term value creation.
“Sam has played a critical role in strengthening our leasing team and operational execution while building lasting relationships with leading retail brands across the country,” said Jared Feldman, executive chairman at FNRP. “His promotion to chief revenue officer reflects both his leadership and our confidence in his ability to drive revenue and enhance performance across our portfolio as we continue to scale.”
Collier most recently was the private equity real estate firm’s executive vice president of leasing and national accounts, the news release said. In that role, he helped scale the national accounts platform, strengthen relationships with major retailers and streamline deal execution across markets.
“Over the past five years, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside a talented team and help build the systems and relationships that support FNRP’s leasing success,” he said. “I’m excited to take on this new role and focus on scaling those efforts to drive continued growth and value for the firm.”
Collier has more than 20 years of experience in retail property, including over a decade focused on strategic leasing and redevelopment of large-format spaces for publicly traded real estate investment trusts in the mall sector, FNRP said. He holds bachelor’s degrees in both finance/economics and accounting from Lipscomb University and is a certified public accountant and an active member of ICSC.
