Broad Reach Finance Leadership Grows with Appointment of Jennifer DiPietro as Controller
Broad Reach Retail Partners, a privately held, fully integrated owner and operator of shopping centers, proudly announces the appointment of Jennifer (Jen) DiPietro as Controller. This marks a new chapter in Broad Reach finance leadership. With more than 25 years of finance and accounting experience, primarily in commercial real estate, Jen joins our team to lead our accounting operations and enhance financial infrastructure as we continue to grow and reposition our portfolio.
Jen brings significant industry expertise from her 17 years with General Growth Properties (formerly The Rouse Company), where she supported one of the nation’s largest and most recognized retail real estate portfolios in a variety of finance roles. She most recently served as Controller at Greenberg Gibbons Commercial, a highly regarded Maryland-based retail developer and operator, where she oversaw all accounting functions for a portfolio of shopping centers. Her diverse career also includes financial leadership roles in the hospitality and manufacturing sectors, giving her a broad perspective across industries, which will be vital for Broad Reach finance leadership.
Broad Reach’s Controller role will strengthen our in-house finance team and position the us for long-term success as we continue to acquire new centers and execute on strategic dispositions, such as the recent sale of Covington Plaza in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In her role, Jen will oversee monthly financial reporting, budgeting, audit preparation, and internal controls, while also helping to refine investor reporting systems. This is a key part of Broad Reach finance leadership. She will support redevelopment and construction projects from a finance perspective, and ensure accuracy and transparency across the platform.
“Jen’s depth of experience with organizations like General Growth and Greenberg Gibbons makes her an incredible asset to our team,” said Nate Tower, CEO & Founding Partner of Broad Reach Retail Partners. “Her leadership will further strengthen our accounting and reporting functions, positioning us to support continued growth and provide the high-level of accuracy and accountability our investors and partners expect.”
Ted Kallergis, Chief Financial Officer at Broad Reach, added: “As we continue to expand our portfolio and pursue opportunistic acquisitions, Jen’s expertise will be instrumental in scaling our finance operations. Broad Reach finance leadership will greatly benefit from her expertise. She brings a proven track record of building strong systems and processes that will support everything from investor reporting to redevelopment projects, ensuring we deliver on our commitments with precision.”
Jen holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Management and a Certificate in Accounting from Towson University. Outside of work, she enjoys boating, the beach, traveling, and spending time with her husband, son, and daughter.
