Gemini Rosemont adds Meehan and Frandson to leadership team

In his COO role, Meehan will oversee corporate transactions, provide financing and multidisciplinary leadership, and will partner with the company's asset management and acquisition divisions, to support a variety of initiatives. He will also be directly involved with the capital raise team.

Frandson's efforts will be focused on capital markets, and is a leading member of the capital raise team for Gemini Rosemont. 

"Gemini Rosemont is in the midst of a multi-year capital raise and acquisition program, and adding these two experienced professionals to our team is part of a long-term strategy to bolster our efforts specifically in those two areas," said Ian Brownlow, interim chief executive officer and chief financial officer. "The combined talent and experience that John and Nina bring to the company will help us achieve both our short- and long-term goals."

Prior to joining Gemini Rosemont, Meehan was the vice president, director of capital markets for Douglas Emmett, Inc., with responsibilities for all transactional activities including acquisitions, financings and dispositions.

He also closed over $12 billion in financing transactions, led the sale of $300 million of assets and was an integral part of the initial public offering process that resulted in, at the time, the largest REIT IPO in history with a $1.59 billion initial offering. 

Meehan received his Master's degree in Business Administration from the University of Southern California after earning his Bachelor of Arts degree in Finance from the Michigan State University.

Frandson was a managing director and raised capital for Cantor Fitzgerald's proprietary and third party real estate and private equity funds prior to joining Gemini Rosemont.
