Sentral, the leading full-service residential hospitality company, announced today that its Board of Directors has promoted
Lisa Yeh to President, effective today, August 1. In this expanded role, Ms. Yeh will oversee Sentral’s day-to-day operations, in addition to her current responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer. Jon Slavet stepped down from his role as Chief Executive Officer to pursue other opportunities as of July 31.
Ms. Yeh has served as Sentral’s Chief Operating Officer for over two years and brings over 20 years of multifamily experience to her role as President. As COO, Lisa has been instrumental in delivering and optimizing Sentral’s unique business model, which consistently drives 20 percent lift in net operating income (NOI) for property owners by integrating best practices from the multifamily and hospitality industries.
Ms. Yeh has received widespread industry accolades and was most recently named to GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum’s Women of Influence list, which recognizes “individuals that have… driven the industry to new heights via their outstanding successes.” In her career, Ms. Yeh has held senior roles with some of the multifamily industry’s most recognizable companies, including Essex Property Trust, AvalonBay Communities and CityView.
Ms. Yeh will work in close partnership with the rest of Sentral’s leadership team, including Roman Speron, the company’s Chief Development Officer, to drive Sentral’s continued expansion of its portfolio of innovative, residential hospitality communities. The company recently introduced Sentral at Inspire Hollywood and announced two new communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Sentral now manages 35 dynamic residential communities across 18 U.S. markets, representing more than 10,000 apartment units and a combined value of $5 billion.
