Annelise Osborne: From Hoodies to Suits – Innovating Digital Assets for Traditional Finance

In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations with Bruce Bean, Annelise Osborne shares her unique journey from growing up on a U.S. military base in the Marshall Islands to helping lead innovation at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets.

Bruce and Annelise explore the evolution of finance—from commercial mortgage-backed securities to tokenized real estate. She breaks down what tokenization means for real estate, how blockchain is quietly reshaping back-office financial operations, and why regulation, efficiency, and accessibility are key to finance's next big leap.

With experience at Moody’s, Jones Lang LaSalle, and as Chief Business Officer at blockchain firm Kadena, Annelise brings both credibility and clarity to a complex subject. She also discusses her book, From Hoodies to Suits, which explains how digital assets are changing traditional financial models.
