The Ashforth Company, a Stamford-based real estate operating firm focused on multifamily and commercial properties, has promoted Ryan Harvey to CEO and president.
Harvey stepped into the role after an 18-month succession plan and previously served as co-CEO. As part of the succession plan, former co-CEO Darrell Harvey became executive chairman of the board last July and Ryan Harvey was promoted from chief operating officer to co-CEO, alongside Andrew Ashforth. Darrell Harvey and Andrew Ashforth are now co-chairs of the board and Andrew Ashforth will remain president as CEO of A.P. Construction, the construction management division of The Ashforth Company.
“Ryan’s promotion is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and the significant positive impact he has brought to our company for the past 10 years. We are proud and fortunate to have him continue our 128-year company legacy,” said Darrell Harvey.
Before joining Ashforth 10 years ago, Harvey served as deputy associate counsel at The White House. He began his legal career at Debevoise & Plimpton in New York City and later moved to Nashville to serve as a clerk to Judge Gilbert S. Merritt of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. He then joined the Office of the Federal Public Defender in Nashville and was an adjunct professor at Vanderbilt Law School.
