BIRMINGHAM, AL—Over the past few months since stepping into her new role, Libby Lassiter, President, Bayer Properties, has led the team to increase its portfolio by over a million square feet, adding new properties and developments in growing markets, including Oklahoma City, Okla.; Hoover, Ala.; and Atlanta, Ga. With less than 10% of the C-suite positions in CRE held by women, Lassiter is leading efforts to ensure that each of Bayer's assets continue to grow and evolve while committing to meeting consumer demand and appeal to the end user.

"My leadership roles did not happen overnight. I've had the chance to learn from several great mentors who took me under their wing, and for that, I am forever grateful," reflects Lassiter. "I recognized early in my career the importance of building the right team and having trust in them to get the job done. Although technology is impacting employment, we are still in a people business. I truly believe that the ability to work as a fully integrated and functioning team is the most valuable lesson I've ever been taught."
