The Inland Real Estate Group, LLC has appointed Catherine Lynch as Chief of Staff, tapping a longtime executive to help advance strategic priorities and enhance coordination across the firm’s business lines. 

In her new role, Lynch will work closely with CEO and President Tony Chereso to drive key enterprise initiatives and strengthen alignment across Inland’s platform. 

“Her deep knowledge and expertise in real estate economics, deal structuring and a thorough understanding of Inland’s investment thesis uniquely qualify her for the position of Chief of Staff and will enable her to effectively support Inland’s strategic objectives,” said Chereso. 

Lynch joined Inland in 1989 and brings more than 30 years of leadership experience across the organization. She has held senior roles within Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation and Inland Securities Corporation, and will continue to serve as Director of Inland Investments, Inland Private Capital Corporation and ISC, in addition to her broader leadership responsibilities. 

“I am honored to assume the position of Chief of Staff and to further support the Inland organization and build upon the Company’s 58 years of achievements,” Lynch said. 

Over her tenure, Lynch has also played a key role in shaping Inland’s culture, including serving as a founding member of the firm’s Women’s Initiative Network, which promotes professional development and mentorship across the organization.
