Jeffrey Weidell will take the reins of NorthMarq CEO on Jan. 1, 2020.
MINNEAPOLIS—Commercial real estate capital markets firm NorthMarq reports that as part of a succession plan company president Jeffrey Weidell will become CEO on Jan. 1, 2020, succeeding longtime CEO Eduardo Padilla.
Padilla, who has served as CEO for 20 years, will become executive chair of the Minneapolis-based firm at that time.
Weidell, who first joined NorthMarq in 2000, has been responsible for a number of successful initiatives as president, including an industry-leading associate producer program, the launch of the investment sales business, growth in debt production and expansion of the equity advisory business. He was promoted to president in 2013, after serving as managing director of the San Francisco office. He served on the company's Executive Committee and was one of its most successful mortgage bankers.
"This planned executive transition sets the stage for NorthMarq to continue to thrive, ensuring our operations, financing, and investment sales businesses maintain the highest level of client support," Padilla says. "I have the utmost appreciation for the opportunity I have had as CEO over the last 20 years, and the support I have received from employees, lenders, clients and ownership. I am confident that Jeff is ready for this next level of leadership."
Under Padilla's leadership, the company completed nearly 20 acquisitions, growing to 37 debt and equity offices with more than 50 correspondent relationships, and a loan servicing portfolio of nearly $60 billion. Additionally, he led the company's development of top-tier Freddie Mac Optigo and Fannie Mae DUS platforms.
NorthMarq is part of the Pohlad Companies, a privately held portfolio of businesses and investments spanning a variety of industries.
