Paul Lam joins us as a new leasing and commercial real estate sales associate.  Prior to joining MANSARD, Paul founded and built a digital technology company and worked as an investment banker in the Mergers & Acquisitions Group at S.G. Warburg & Company.  Paul holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania with a double major in Corporate Finance and Strategic Management. Please join us in welcoming these two fine young men to MANSARD Commercial Properties.  We’re lucky to have them. Get free weekly email updates of this blog.
