Mollie Eisler | VP | Technology and Innovation | Almanac Realty Investors | The intersection of people, technology and place

In this episode, host David Abrams is in conversation with Mollie Eisler, Vice President, Technology and Innovation at Almanac Realty Investors. Mollie began her career journey with an educational foundation in hospitality, which allowed her to delve deeper into her interest in the intersection of people, technology and place. Early days of working at IBM with big data, analytics, cloud computing and AI exposed Mollie to the many ways that technology can help people do their jobs better. The experience served her well when she then made the leap to real estate, overseeing investment in Proptech companies as a VP of Ventures, before landing her current role at Almanac as VP of Tech and Innovation. Mollie sees two themes emerging that will define the future of commercial real estate. The first is data management, which she views as the most valuable resource, and the second is the creation of unique and memorable in-person experiences that can be shared with others. Mollie is seeing more building operators collaborating with their customers, and creating more opportunities to engage with them to gather feedback that will ultimately inform future decisions. I appreciated hearing the example of Neuberger Berman’s use of art tours to connect people to their buildings and help foster community. In Mollie’s view, tenant engagement and communication platforms are on the rise because they are helping to meet the needs of hybrid work and improve digital connectivity.   Subscribe to TEN so you never miss an episode of the Tenant Experience Network.
