After more than a decade inside institutional and private equity-backed real estate organizations, I build, integrate, and run the programs that drive performance and impact the bottom line. I bring that same rigor and care to you and your team — as if it were my own business.
I've held the seat — hiring teams, owning performance, and answering to equity partners and lenders. That perspective is what I bring to every engagement.
Gisela Prudden is the founder of Gisela Prudden Real Estate Advisory, with more than a decade of experience inside institutional and private equity-backed real estate organizations.

Whether you're standing up a function, absorbing growth, or implementing a program, I do the work end-to-end — and support the business until it runs.
Stand up an Asset Management or Property Management function from the ground up — or strengthen it from where it stands today — including team, structure, and performance standards.
Built an AM function for an $8B student housing portfolio (70 assets, 13K units), hired and led the team, and drove performance through construction, lease-up, stabilization, and operations, serving as primary relationship manager for equity partners and lenders.
Align policies, procedures, and performance standards through periods of fast growth so the combined organization actually functions as one.
Directed the integration of a $7B multifamily Property Management platform with Asset Management during a period of 2x growth.
Run enterprise-wide initiatives — from executive decisions through implementation — designed to transition cleanly to the business upon completion.
Ran enterprise programs across Operations, Asset Management, and Corporate functions for 4 business units with 2,000 employees.
