That handsome young fellow you may have seen emceeing a Bisnow Summit is our SoCal director of operations Frank Sanchez, whom we recruited in 2011. What he likes best about Bisnow: the entrepreneurial spirit of working at a young startup. Its always a mad rush to get an event out every month, sometimes three events in one month, working with event producer Michael Farber and event coordinator Amy Erickson. (He likens it to a big-screen blockbuster,Frank being the executive producer who goes out and raises the capital.) Frank likes to ask panelists what keeps them up at night. In his case, its having enough snowpack in the lower Sierras for a good whitewater rafting season. What else should you know about him? Im a great lunch date. So call Frank for sponsorships or lunch, or email at frank.sanchez@bisnow.com. Be sure to ask about Hit the Ground Running: special ad prices in the Bisnow newsletter--the best way to reach the CRE community in SoCal (and beyond)--for a limited time only.
