“During the interview process, Ray impressed us with his industry knowledge, successful track record, and sterling reputation,” says Paddy McNeely, chairman and CEO at Meritex. “We believe he is highly qualified to contribute to Meritex’s growth, and look forward to leveraging his investment experience and extensive connections within the institutional investment community.”
In his new role with Meritex, Kivett will work with Matt Wagner, director of acquisitions, on a broad range of real estate investment and development activities in Meritex’s select investment markets.
Kivett will build upon the success of Dan Williams, Meritex’s former CIO, who will be retiring in December after 29 years with the company. While at Meritex, Williams established the business as a highly qualified investor in the company’s select industrial real estate investment markets.
“While it’s extremely difficult to part with Dan Williams, we’re excited to know that Ray Kivett can help Meritex continue to grow our real estate investment and management activities nationwide,” adds McNeely.
