Benjamin Schall
Ben Schall, appointed CEO of AvalonBay, will spend his first year learning the business under outgoing CEO Tim Naughton, focusing on operational efficiencies rather than strategic changes.
Schall's career in commercial retail real estate and strong leadership skills are noted, but his lack of residential real estate experience presents a steep learning curve.
Schall's apprenticeship under Naughton is seen as essential, with former colleagues emphasizing his intellect and quick learning as key assets for his new role.
