ATLANTA — Andmore, which operates Casual Market Atlanta and the Las Vegas Market, has reconfigured its executive team and hired a new chief financial officer.
Robert Klein, who previously was CFO of Postal Realty Trust, has joined Andmore in the same role. Prior to Postal Realty Trust, Klein was a managing partner and head of capital markets at Monday Properties Services LLC, a real estate investment firm, where he led strategic growth. He also worked as a managing director in the Real Estate Advisory Group at Evercore, advising on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic partnerships, portfolio acquisitions and sales, restructuring transactions, IPOs and strategic alternatives.
“Nothing transforms a company more than excellent senior leadership, with diverse skill sets and broad-based experience,” said Jonathan Pertchik, CEO of Andmore. “Our leadership is a team of proven leaders representing a blend of incredible wisdom and experience from within the industries we serve as well as imported from external industries, which creates a competitive advantage as we prepare to deliver a higher level of service to those we serve. Rob has a track record of sharpening operations, enhancing performance and guiding companies through transformative phases of growth, and we are delighted to have him on the team.”
Klein also held various positions at MJC Associates LLC, Reckson Associates, Goldman Sachs and Bankers Trust. He is a member of the CFO Council of NAREIT and the executive committee of the University of Florida’s Bergstrom Center Advisory Board.
“Andmore plays a fundamentally critical role to countless apparel, furniture and design companies,” Klein said. “It has a long history and plays an important role within the American economy, and I look forward to working with Jon and the team to achieve a new chapter of growth.”
