Veteran real estate executive Andy Rothery has been appointed as enterprise managing consultant at Dallas-based RealFoundations, a provider of consulting and managed services for the real estate industry.

Rothery brings more than 30 years of real estate experience, along with extensive global operational expertise and industry relationships to his new role.

"We're delighted to welcome Andy to our team, which will strengthen our advisory services within the U.K. and position us for growth across Europe," Phillip McCorkle, CEO of Management Consulting at RealFoundations, said in a statement. "Andy's distinguished record of leadership and real estate advisory will play a critical role in expanding our presence and elevating RealFoundations' mission to make real estate run better on a global scale."

With more than three decades of experience in the real estate industry and a deep understanding of global real estate operations, Rothery will be a key to advancing brand awareness and generating new business opportunities within the U.K. and across Europe, the firm said.

Rothery has held executive leadership roles at some of the world's most well-recognized professional services firms, RealFoundations said.

His prior leadership roles include equity partner positions at both Arthur Andersen and Deloitte, where he was the global industry chair and founding managing partner of Deloitte Real Estate. After leaving Deloitte, Rothery engaged in various advisory roles and contributed to various charitable and educational initiatives.

Most recently, he was co-head of Affordable Housing at QSix, a specialized residential investment manager, and as an adviser at Pinnacle Investments, where he supported the development of an institutional key worker housing investment vehicle.

Rothery said he is excited to join RealFoundations due to the company's "unique position as the world's largest real estate focused operational consulting and managed services firm."

He noted the importance of adaptation in the current real estate environment.

"I believe the winners in the next cycle will be those organizations that have the most efficient and effective operating platform," Rothery said. "Those able to adapt quickly and at scale to growth challenges across markets, integrate ESG reporting, adopt AI tools, address cyber risk, and provide timely and accurate data to increasingly diverse and demanding stakeholder groups will be positioned for success. RealFoundations is uniquely positioned to help clients with all these challenges in Europe given its experience in the United States," Rothery said in a statement.
