REGENCY CENTERS ANNOUNCES EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT CHANGES
Jacksonville, Fla. (January 19, 2012) -- Regency Centers Corporation announced today changes in its executive management team.
Bruce Johnson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has announced that he will retire at the end of 2012. Effective with his retirement at the end of the year, Lisa Palmer, Senior Vice President of Capital Markets, will succeed Bruce as Chief Financial Officer.
Bruce has been an important leader in our company for more than 30 years and has served as CFO since our initial public offering in 1993. He is an integral part of Regency's heritage and epitomizes the attributes that make our people so special. I am extremely grateful to Bruce for his leadership and steady hand, when combined with his experience, judgment, and financial acumen, have played an instrumental role in building Regency into the leading national shopping center company. While it is always difficult to eventually lose a talented partner and good friend, we are particularly fortunate to have an exceptional executive to succeed Bruce. Lisa is not only a gifted financial professional; she also knows the shopping center business and is ingrained with Regency's special culture. In her 15 years with Regency Lisa has amassed impressive skills from her key roles in capital markets, investor relations, and with our institutional partners. It was an easy and natural decision for me after learning of Bruce's decision to select Lisa as Regency's next CFO, said Martin Hap Stein, Jr., Regency Centers chairman and chief executive officer.
Ms. Palmer joined Regency in 1996 and has served as its Senior Vice President since 2003. She has led the capital markets and investor relations team for more than 10 years and has had primary responsibility for the co-investment partner program since its inception.
