Milestone is proud to announce the addition of Alex Hancock to its Leadership Development Program.
Alex Hancock is a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, where he focused on real estate and corporate finance. While at Kenan-Flagler he spent his summer internship at MetLife Investment Management where he worked in the Real Estate Risk, Research & Analytics group, where he assisted with portfolio management and corporate strategy functions within MetLife’s $94.2B Commercial Real Estate portfolio. Prior to business school, Mr. Hancock lived in Atlanta where he worked as a Senior Financial Analyst at Hospitality Ventures Management Group, an owner/operator of hotels with a nationwide portfolio consisting of full-service, extended-stay and select-service property types.
There, he helped evaluate investment opportunities in the U.S. lodging sector consistent with client-specific and general firm investment criteria through analyzing financial statements and market dynamics.
