Ella Properties LLC is pleased to welcome Katie Barry Speede to the team as Director of Acquisitions.
A principal of the firm, Katie is responsible for new investment opportunities that adhere to Ella’s value-add, repositioning strategy. While Ella’s focus is primarily on Cambridge, Boston, and the “close-in” suburbs, Katie will explore additional markets for promising acquisition targets.
Katie brings a breadth of expertise to the firm, having worked with Lisa Campoli, Ella’s Founding Principal, on the Investment Sales team at Colliers International. Together with the Colliers team, they closed over $500 million of real estate on behalf of private, institutional, and international clients. In 2010, after leaving Colliers to pursue her MBA, Katie worked on the acquisitions team at Beacon Capital Partners, underwriting and evaluating institutional investments throughout the United States. Katie’s general business experience includes 3 years at Microsoft in the company’s Cambridge, Massachusetts and London, England offices.
Katie is a graduate of Brown University in Providence and earned her MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.
