The CLO is one of three new additions in senior leadership
Canadian real estate company Great Gulf Group has bolstered its senior leadership ranks with three key hires including the appointment of Corinne Pruzanski as chief legal officer.
Pruzanski will lead Great Gulf's legal strategy. An accomplished general counsel and senior executive with over 25 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry in Canada, the US and Europe, Pruzanski was previously general counsel for Canadian Apartment Properties REIT (CAPREIT) for more than a decade. At CAPREIT, she oversaw the company’s growth in Canada and expansion into Europe.
Prior to CAPREIT, Pruzanski was a partner in the real estate group at Stikeman Elliott LLP, which she joined after starting her legal career at law firms in New York. Her experience includes mergers, acquisitions and capital markets transactions in the multi-family, commercial and hospitality sectors on both sides of the border. She is a member of the board of directors of Women General Counsel Canada and the Distress Centres of Greater Toronto.
Pruzanski is taking over from Tom Griffiths, who will be leaving Great Gulf at the end of this year after more than 12 years as the company's chief legal officer.
“I'm very excited to be joining a company with a remarkable track record and diversity of investments," said Pruzanski. “I look forward to working with such an accomplished team of professionals through the company's next phase of growth.”
Also new to the company, Jay Wong has joined Great Gulf in the newly created position of president, resorts and leisure; and Kristopher Wojtecki becomes chief operating officer.
“The company prides itself on its team of dedicated professionals,” said Bill Tresham, executive chairman and interim chief executive officer. “Jay, Corinne, and Kris will play essential roles driving forward the founders' multi asset class development. I would like to thank Tom Griffiths and recognize his devoted service."
Earlier this year, Great Gulf announced plans to develop a ski village and luxury resort community in Killington, Vermont. The project will span over 1,000 acres at completion and bolster the current portfolio, which includes Taboo Resort on Lake Muskoka, Ontario and two new developments in Collingwood, Ontario.
