RIPCO Real Estate has announced that Nina Becker, an industry veteran with more than 14 years of experience in retail real estate, has joined to help expand the company’s retail services, specifically within the hospitality retail sector. Becker previously worked at CBRE for six years, most recently as vice president in the New York Tri-State Region’s Retail Services Group. Becker will work alongside brokers Lisa Daniel and Jeff Nable in the Greenwich, CT office.
“Nina represents a tremendous addition to the firm, because she is intimately familiar with the intricacies of this particular market. As we continue to expand in this key region, she is someone who will work closely with the team in place to ensure that RIPCO is just as much household name in Westchester and Connecticut as it is throughout the rest of the New York metro area,” said Mark Kaplan, principal and COO at RIPCO.
Over the course of her career, Becker has represented several global, national and regional brands including Ralph Lauren, H&M, Wells Fargo, Retail Group of America (RGA), Luisa Spagnoli, Marriott, Fresh & Co., Nissan, Famous Famiglia-Debartolo and Wendy’s.
