Michele Vives has been promoted to president of Douglas Wilson Companies (DWC), succeeding Douglas Wilson, who continues as CEO and chairman of the board. DWC is a real estate development, receivership and advisory firm that has completed more than 1,200 projects in 35 states valued in excess of $15 bil. The company provides a wide range of specialized business, workout, and real estate services to financial institutions, law firms, state and federal courts, property owners and REITs.
Vives will spearhead the executive team, which also includes Nich Wilson, COO; Lynn Goodridge, CFO; and Ryan Baker, head of the Fiduciary Practice. As president, Vives will maintain her development practice and increase her involvement with a growing number of receivership and real estate advisory assignments nationwide.
Vives joined the company in 2014 and, most recently, in her role as vice president, led DWC’s Real Estate Practice, including extensive work with families, family offices, government agencies and major corporations across the company’s business channels from advisory services to ground-up development. She has overseen the development of office, research, residential, and retail projects with a value of more than $750 mil and has in recent years worked on dozens of new developments, entitlements, and master-planning projects throughout the country.
“Michele exhibits a compelling combination of strategic vision, organizational skills and a natural leadership ability that will advance our strategic goals,” said Wilson. “We are a family business and proud of our legacy. To keep our legacy and tradition flourishing, we must be vigilant to infuse the company with new vitality and leadership. Michele’s promotion is an indicator of DWC’s evolution and a keystone to our future diversification and success,” he added.
Prior to joining DWC, Vives was associated with two prominent San Diego design and development firms. She served as the marketing and development manager for Tucker Sadler Architects and the business development manager for Lankford & Associates Inc.
