We really enjoyed our discussion with Todd, who is as well-liked as he is respected in the national investment market. Todd shared with us how each stop in his journey equipped him to eventually launch Declaration Partners, a unique opportunity to start a new platform with a bona fide legend of the private equity industry, David Rubenstein. Todd’s perspective on the market and his overview of Declaration’s thoughtful approach will be an interesting listen for all in the real estate and investment management arenas.
