Hiring a CFO is about more than just numbers; it’s about finding a partner who is passionate about our mission. Warren joins us with both impeccable financial credentials and a deep commitment to the community’s shared values,” Adam shared.
Warren is eager to embrace his new role and connect with the residents and team members who make the campus so special.
I am honored to join Kendal at Lexington at such a pivotal time.
