76 – Becoming the head of a billion dollar property developer

Amassing a $4.5 billion dollar portfolio of property assets is a pretty impressive feat for a property development company, and in this episode I am speaking with the head of the organization about how they achieved that and the lessons learned along the way. My guest on the show is Rod Fehring, the former CEO of Fraser's Property Australia. He recently stepped down from the role but has taken up a position on the Frasers Property Australia Board. Strategic Growth and Sustained Value During Rod’s time as the head of Frasers Property Australia, it amassed a $4.5 billion portfolio of assets, and grew at a compound rate of 25 per cent, all the while he championed sustainability, gender diversity and action on climate change. "Direct capital to where value is created." Rod has a long history in the development industry and involvement with a number of landmark projects dotted across the country. We discuss Rod's early career and how he advanced up the ladder, tackling bigger and bigger projects, until he was in charge of one of Australia's largest property developers. I enjoyed this conversation so much, that after it ended I asked Rod for a follow up discussion, which he agreed to and I will bring to you in a future episode.
