When Lisa Wehrly met Greg Geiser, the founder of Wedgewood, the company was still in its infancy, with only three employees and no budget for hiring more. However, Wehrly was drawn to Geiser's integrity, curiosity, and entrepreneurial spirit, so she negotiated an unpaid role as an analyst intern to prove herself.

Fast forward to today, Wehrly is now the COO of Wedgewood, leading over 300 employees operating in 20+ states, with a revenue of $1.5 billion in 2021. "Wedgewood turned my interest in real estate into a passion that has fueled my professional career," says Wehrly.

Wedgewood is committed to advancing the real estate industry by reinventing the status quo and implementing innovative strategies that create a truly unique business model. "Our complementary brands support our goal of revitalizing communities, providing homeownership opportunities, and creating exceptional tenant experiences within our multi-family communities," says Wehrly. "The prospect of measuring the collective impact that our company has and will continue to make is truly exciting."
