The Leadership Team consists of professionals spanning across each of HFF’s lines of business, property and product specialties and all of its offices, and it also includes a new four-person Executive Committee, which has overall responsibility for implementing the strategic direction of the firm and the Leadership Team.

The new structure of HFF’s top line leadership is intended to enable better coordination and communication within the various platforms, specialties and offices, and provide HFF with improved management capacity to further strategically grow its business as well as better identify future leaders of the business.

New leadership designations of note include Gerard Sansosti who is responsible for HFF’s overall Debt Placement line of business. In addition, as the current head of HFF’s Washington, D.C. debt practice, Sansosti, along with Steve Conley, is responsible for significantly growing and expanding the debt practice there.

Further notable leadership changes include Steve Henderson who is now head of HFF’s Freddie Mac relationship; Randy Baird who leads HFF’s industrial specialty efforts; Jason Nettles is an office head in Atlanta; Trey Morsbach is now an office head in Dallas; Mark Popovich is an office head in Pittsburgh; and Doug Bond helps lead the firm’s Los Angeles office.
