ATLANTA – ANDMORE, which is owned by asset manager Blackstone and is among the largest owner of permanent markets and tradeshow space, announced several leadership changes to its executive team, including the retirement of Chief Executive Officer Jon Pertchik, effective May 31, 2026.

ANDMORE’s Board of Directors has established an Executive Committee, comprising current executives: Amory Wooden, newly-promoted Chief Revenue Officer; Greg Avitabile, President and Chief Operations Officer; Robert Klein, Chief Financial Officer; and Ximena Juncosa, Chief Human Resources Officer. The Executive Committee will assume expanded responsibilities to help strengthen ANDMORE’s operating structure and align the business around its most critical priorities. The Executive Committee will report directly to the board, including Blackstone representatives and ANDMORE’s Executive Chairman, Bob Maricich.

“We have fostered a team of exceptionally talented leaders at ANDMORE, and this new structure is designed to put that talent in the driver’s seat to move the business forward most effectively,” said Jon Pertchik, Chief Executive Officer of ANDMORE. “My faith in the strength of this organization and its growth prospects is as unwavering today as it was when I was first appointed CEO. I have full confidence in what comes next and believe the best is yet to come with this team.”

In Wooden’s new role as Chief Revenue Officer, she will oversee ANDMORE’s Marketing and Leasing teams under one unified revenue-generating structure. As CMO, Wooden has been instrumental in building a tech and data-enabled marketing function to set up ANDMORE’s core business for future growth. Marketing and Leasing are critical to revenue success at ANDMORE, and Wooden is a strong leader that will support both teams to drive growth in ANDMORE’s core business. Wooden will also assume responsibility for the company’s Business Development function.

“Connecting Marketing and Leasing is about aligning the business around growth and performance,” said Wooden. “Our goal will be to foster new ways to collaborate, allowing us to deliver bigger results for our tenants and buyers.”

Greg Avitabile, a company veteran of over 30 years, has been appointed President, Chief Operations Officer. During his tenure at ANDMORE, Avitabile has led all aspects of operations across three cities and 22 million square feet of real estate, including maintenance, market operations, shipping and receiving, janitorial, security, construction and tenant improvements. As part of the leadership changes announced today, Avitabile will assume responsibility for ANDMORE’s Technology team, overseeing the continued implementation of its data-driven approach and ensuring it remains a value-driver for the business, as well as oversight of Shoppe Object, New York’s premier home and gift show.

Robert Klein will continue to oversee ANDMORE’s strategic and financial priorities as Chief Financial Officer, working to ensure that the company is operating from a position of strength and well-equipped to continue delivering for our tenants and buyers. Klein will also assume responsibility for the company’s Corporate Development function.

Ximena Juncosa will continue to lead ANDMORE’s people and culture strategy, helping strengthen the leadership, collaboration, and accountability needed to support the business in its next phase. With the leadership changes announced today, Juncosa will also assume responsibility for ANDMORE’s Legal department and work closely with that team to ensure continued partnership and support across the organization.

“ANDMORE has an exceptionally strong foundation built on decades of market leadership and an unmatched industry network that cannot easily be replicated,” said Bob Maricich, Board Chair and former CEO and Founder of ANDMORE. “With this executive team in place and the underlying strength of our real estate footprint, customer relationships, and brand, we have full confidence in the path ahead.”

In connection with this leadership transition, Katie Potter, Chief Strategy Officer and General Counsel, and Landon Williams, Chief Technology Officer, will also step down from their roles at the Company on May 31, 2026.

ANDMORE is committed to a seamless transition of responsibilities across the organization and remains focused on maintaining operational stability and continuing to execute its long-term growth strategy. The Board of Directors is confident in the Executive Committee’s ability to lead the business and will focus on supporting the transition before it initiates a search for a permanent CEO.
