“Having such a dynamic and diversified business, Greystone will be positioned for long-term success by elevating both Chip and Greg to the COO position, working alongside me to guide the firm into our next phase of growth,” said Mr. Steve Rosenberg, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Greystone. “No doubt, we have seen some market changes in CRE over the last few years, but the one constant is Greystone’s unwavering commitment to making an impact on others with our efforts, and ensuring we continue to honor the legacy of our founding and former COO, the late Curt Pollock.”
