Boston, MA The Davis Companies (TDC), a Boston-based real estate investment, management and development firm, has promoted Quentin Reynolds to the position of chief investment officer, succeeding Jonathan Davis, the founder and CEO of the firm. Davis will continue to lead the firm and play a central role in investment strategy setting and decision making as CEO and a member of the firm’s investment committee.

Reynolds has served for seven years as a managing director at TDC, heading the 14-person investment team and is a member of the Investment Committee of each of the firm’s Funds. During that time he and his team have originated over $4 billion of investments for TDC’s four value-add real estate funds and for a number of non-fund investments.

In the chief investment officer role, Reynolds will continue to lead the firm’s deal origination and investment underwriting team. He will also share responsibility for investment strategy setting and oversee TDC’s fund-level portfolio construction and overall risk management.

“Quentin is a highly valued member of our senior team and a great investor and steward of capital,” said Davis. “He has played a key role in developing and implementing our investment strategy for years and has proven he is well-suited to succeed me as CIO. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Quentin in investing our current fund.”

Prior to joining The Davis Companies, Reynolds spent more than 15 years in real estate finance and investment management at Silverpeak Real Estate Partners and its predecessor, Lehman Brothers, where he was involved in the acquisition, financing and management of opportunistic real estate investments across a broad array of markets, property types and capital structures. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia and received a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from Columbia Business School.

"I look forward to continuing to support The Davis Companies’ efforts to provide strategic investment opportunities to our clients," said Reynolds. "It's been my pleasure to work with Jon and the experienced, passionate, highly diverse team that we have assembled at Davis.”
