• Reflect on his decision to join RKW after a transformative year in consulting, and how the company’s alignment of tech and heart, powered by Alfred, convinced him it was the right next chapter
• Break down his belief in starting innovation at the user level, building tech that elevates—not replaces—people, and why true differentiation in multifamily means balancing high-touch care with high-tech tools
