Business Process

Pillar looks to develop opportunities that capitalize upon these characteristics and trends. We do this through organic generation of new business concepts, grounded in a deep network and close relationships within the real estate and insurance industries. We also look for opportunistic plays that others have overlooked, or are available only to those who can move quickly and have the resources available to facilitate action.

Pillar has the expertise and experience necessary to develop opportunities within the real estate and insurance industries. Our partners have extensive experience in multiple aspects of commercial real estate, including financial analysis, systems development, and the creation and operation of service businesses focused on real estate owners and managers. Our partners also possess extensive experience in insurance operations, including the management of life insurance companies and the development of new P&C business opportunities.

Pillar has the business development expertise necessary to capitalize on business opportunities. Our partners have founded several businesses from the ground up. Through their careers, our partners have raised capital from various sources, including private equity, investment banks, high net worth individuals, and public sources.

Perhaps most importantly, Pillar possesses the vision and an energetic, opportunistic attitude to see what others do not or cannot see. Pillar also possesses the will to turn that vision into reality. Three key tactics that we use to realize success are to:

• Institutionalize both innovative concepts and nuts-and-bolts business basics to reduce inefficiencies and increase gains for target companies and opportunities.
• Leverage insight, experience, know-how, and top-level talent to exploit key niche opportunities.
• Involve industry players to create winning value propositions and increase the size of the pie for all players.
