Executive Testimonials
Luke Petherbridge, CEO of Link Logistics
"As the industrial real estate sector continues to grow, Link Logistics is focused on investing in the next generation. Our firm recently collaborated with the nonprofit Project Destined to host their inaugural Industrial Real Estate Bridge Program, with 30 students being selected to join. I am grateful to have been able to share my thoughts with these young leaders and will be pulling for their success."
Robin Hughes, CEO of Housing Partnership Network
"My 35-year career leading affordable housing development and operations in California, and now helming a national network of strong, independent organizations, has been rewarding and meaningful. It brings me great joy that we are coming together to help more students of color to realize this career pathway, especially those with lived experience."
Sonny Kalsi, CEO of BGO
“Project Destined's focused efforts in creating new pathways for diverse, talented students to establish meaningful entry-points to a career in commercial real estate has been nothing short of ground-breaking. Today, we are thrilled to join their newest venture...to deliver educational programming that will empower Black students to become the chief executives of their future.”
Johari Matthews, VP and Executive Director of the Titans Foundation
"The opportunity to serve students in Project Destined, is an astounding example of our mission through ONE Community. We are excited to see this next generation of leaders thrive and to have been a part of their success. We are looking forward to continuing to build on this critical partnership!”
Bob Faith, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Greystar
"Partnering with Project Destined to serve as mentors, educators, and financial supporters of the next generation of business leaders is something I'm proud Greystar is a part of. This partnership reflects our core values so well, but more importantly, the positive impact we can have on the lives of students we can recruit into the real estate industry from a wide range of backgrounds is significant."
