CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum, a leading source for commercial real estate news and insights, has named Rob Finlay, Founder and CEO of Thirty Capital, as a 2024 Influencer in CRE Technology. The Influencers in CRE Tech recognition feature commercial real estate professionals who assist companies in managing processes through technological expertise and the innovations and best practices they have introduced.
“It is truly an honor to be nominated as a 2024 Influencer in CRE Technology by GlobeSt. At Thirty Capital, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation in commercial real estate. This acknowledgment reaffirms our dedication to driving positive change and leveraging data and technology to transform the industry,” said Finlay.
With over 30 years of experience, Finlay’s influence extends across various dimensions of commercial real estate.
