PHOENIX—Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. announces the promotion of Robert Milligan to executive vice president of corporate finance and capital markets. In this role, Milligan is responsible for managing the company's debt and equity raising activities, investor relations, treasury and other corporate finance related activities.
Milligan joined HTA in 2012 and has helped lead the company's capital raising efforts, including raising over $250 million in equity and completing over $1.0 billion in debt transactions. Previously Milligan was with Bank of America Merrill Lynch where he focused on healthcare clients within the corporate and investment banking division. Prior to that he served in various corporate finance roles within General Electric's Advanced Materials division.
“HTA is an interesting place to be. We have a focus on medical office buildings and compete with a lot of diversified REITs,” Milligan tells GlobeSt.com. “Surprisingly, there is not a lot of information and knowledge out there about MOBs.”
For that reason Milligan says a large part of his strategy moving forward will involve education—explaining the MOB capital markets.
“I will be hitting the road and talking to people, opening doors and people's minds to the possibilities of MOBs and the role institutional capital can play, and how they can see those steady returns. It's also a process of introducing our team to the rest of the market. It's an exciting place to be.”
Milligan holds a BS degree in Finance and Economics from Arizona State University and a MBA degree from the University of Chicago.
