From his first position as an intern at a then regional brokerage firm, he has risen to the position of managing partner, opened 8 more offices nationally, with over 100 employees involved in all aspects of the retail and consumer real estate ecosystem. Throughout his career Bryan has worked with numerous chains - whether national retailers such as Target, where Bryan has been involved in the entire New England landscape (over 100 stores); or Petco, for which he has overseen their entire New England and Southeast rollouts (over 400 stores); to Bob’s Discount Furniture, for whom Bryan and his team helped locate and occupy their first 25 stores on the west coast. Bryan’s expertise in the sector ranges from helping companies formulate their growth strategies to determining the actual locations which will help them achieve their plans. His considerable experience encompasses projects with companies of all sizes and product categories, with vastly different needs and goals, from national warehouse clubs like Costo, and large format retailers like Bed Bath and Beyond and Best Buy, to high density food retailers like Starbucks and Cava, to new economy distribution models like Tesla, among others. Beyond his prowess with real estate, Bryan has developed a very informed understanding of market dynamics that impact businesses - whether it be deal structure or cash flow modeling to nuanced aspects like distribution exclusives and contract flexibility, Bryans’ work on behalf of countless consumer companies provides a remarkable resource to brands old and new as they establish or refine their go-to-market strategies. In addition, having invested in numerous real estate transactions personally during his career, Bryan has developed a keen eye for the kinds of relevant, subtle analysis that can be the difference between a compelling opportunity and a cautionary tale. Away from the office, Bryan enjoys golfing, fishing, skiing, and any and all travel. Prior to attending Tufts, Bryan attended The Roxbury Latin School, where he currently serves as a Trustee. He lives in Westwood, MA with his wife April and their three children. https://forlater.com/team-kaity-cimo daily 0.75 2023-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60df452dfdce97035f26a59a/1635781837895-C0U33EHD9OKCLF8FHR2N/Kaity_2021.jpg Kaity Cimo - Kaity Cimo Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

He was responsible for holdings in companies which ranged in enterprise value from the tens of millions to the hundreds of billions, often developing close relationships with senior management which provided him an invaluable education about the challenges faced by company managers and how the best management teams faced these challenges successfully. Bill was born and raised in Quincy and, like Bryan, attended the Roxbury Latin School where he served as a Trustee until 2019. He also served as a Trustee of the Dana Hall School until 2023 and is currently a board member of both Baycove Human Services and the fledgling Stowe Jazz Fest.
