A living ecosystem,
built on relationships.

Jonathan has spent his career in multifamily operations, most recently in senior leadership at Cortland, where he carried P&L for a $20.9B portfolio and the $2B management business behind it: 250-plus assets, 13 states, 1,600 people. He grew that firm from under 8,000 units to more than 82,000 in ten years, lifting NOI margin from 4% to 24% along the way.

He did it by rebuilding the platform instead of adding headcount: centers of excellence for marketing, revenue management, asset management, and FP&A; centralized leasing, screening, and delinquency; work brought back in-house that had been outsourced. The firm ranked #1 in the industry for customer reputation and service in three of four years, and he was the global winner of IREM's Individual Excellence Award. He has also led operations through multiple portfolio acquisitions, which is the part most relevant here, he has been on the integration side of a deal, repeatedly.

Before real estate, Jonathan spent six and a half years in military psychiatry. It taught him what trust is worth and how much listening changes an outcome. His view of the business follows from it: real estate is won or lost on site, so the platform exists to put leverage in the hands of the people standing on the property, not to move decisions away from them.

Brad leads finance, accounting, treasury, and reporting across Vivana and its operating companies. He has been a CFO for more than thirty years, including at three NASDAQ-listed companies and as Executive Vice President and CFO of Aon Corporation.

He has closed more than seventy-five acquisitions, fifty-four as the CFO running diligence, negotiation, and integration, and twenty-five before that as an M&A attorney, and raised over $400 million in debt and equity. He has structured the deal and then owned the results it produced, which is the reason a seller talking to him gets straight answers about what happens after close.

Most of his career has been spent making acquisitive companies operate as one business rather than a pile of holdings: one chart of accounts, one reporting cadence, one version of the truth, so operators get numbers they can act on instead of numbers they have to reconcile. He started at PwC, holds an MBA from Kellogg and a J.D. from Chicago-Kent, teaches part-time, and is based in Austin.
