Asset Management Department Creation
Building a new department from scratch to oversee a multi-billion-dollar deployed portfolio — and holding realized returns above the cost of capital.
The Opportunity
The portfolio had grown to multi-billion-dollar scale, and with that scale came the case for a dedicated function owning portfolio-level returns, capital recycling, and asset-level performance through the full ownership lifecycle — a discipline that becomes essential at exactly the size the company had reached.
The Build
Recognized the gap and built strong relationships with the CIO and key leaders to spearhead the creation of an entirely new department. Leveraged state-of-the-art machine learning on historical operating data to identify underperforming assets and opportunistic capital recycling opportunities.
The Outcome
The department delivered realized returns consistently above the company's cost of capital, contributing measurably to annual earnings. The framework created a repeatable, scalable discipline for ongoing portfolio optimization aligned with the board's focus on capital efficiency.
