Newport Beach, CA, Sept. 15, 2020 – KBS, one of the largest investors in premier commercial real estate in the nation, has promoted Giovanni (Gio) Cordoves from senior vice president and co-director of asset management to Regional President of the Western United States.

At age 38, Cordoves is the youngest executive at the firm to hold the position of regional president since the company’s inception in 1992, according to Chuck Schreiber, CEO of KBS.  

“Promoting Gio to Regional President of the Western Region is a strategic move that aligns with our firm’s philosophy of developing a strong team of leaders that are well prepared to take on leadership roles at any age,” says Schreiber.

 “As a young executive, Gio relates well to the millennials who occupy our properties and is ideally prepared to serve our growing tenant roster. His promotion is the natural evolution of our firm’s operating strategy.”

“Gio possesses a strong work ethic, quick decision-making ability, and keen intellect, which have enabled him to succeed in a demanding role at a relatively young age,” notes Schreiber.

“His calm and reassuring demeanor while leading his team and meeting challenges have earned him the widespread respect of his colleagues.

"In addition, his sharp real estate acumen, remarkable problem-solving ability, and unrelenting drive to keep KBS at the top of the CRE industry sets him apart.”
