Philip Wade has been appointed as Chief Investment Officer (CIO) at Kessler Collection
The Kessler Collection, a leading name in luxury Southern hospitality, has appointed accomplished hospitality real estate executive Phil Wade to the new role of chief investment officer. In his new role, Wade will draw upon his prior experience working in both private equity and public REITs to help guide strategic leadership decisions, deal sourcing, closing transactions, asset management, contract negotiation, forecasting, and investor relations.
With 25 years of experience evaluating and investing in hospitality and related assets throughout North America, Wade has completed over $15 billion dollars in real estate transactions to date across a full spectrum of hospitality from massive luxury resort complexes to small historic Victorian bed & breakfasts.
Having known the Kessler Family and their signature Grand Bohemian brand for over twenty years, Phil was a natural fit to join the team and had been instrumental in his role as CIO of Xenia Hotels & Resorts in forming that acquisition and development partnership with the Kessler Collection in 2012.
