Jack Resnick & Sons announced today that it has appointed Wayne Taub as Executive Managing Director of Operations. In this newly-created position, Taub will supervise operations across Resnick’s office, retail and residential portfolio and will manage corporate office processes, including IT, technology, finance, insurance and energy management efforts.

Taub was selected for the role following a six-month executive search. Previously, Taub served for more than a decade as Vice President and Global Head of Strategic Planning and Transactions for WarnerMedia, where he guided all functions for Time Warner’s 15 million square-foot corporate real estate portfolio, including leasing, facilities operations and construction management.

While at WarnerMedia, Taub successfully negotiated some of the most noteworthy real estate deals in recent memory, including the sale-leaseback of Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle; the acquisition and subsequent disposition of 1.4 million square feet at 30 Hudson Yards; and an 800,000 square-foot lease at the firm’s Frank Gehry-designed headquarters in Burbank, CA.

Before that, Taub was Senior Managing Director of Global Corporate Services at CBRE, where he managed 400 real estate professionals with expertise in property management, construction, accounting, and lease administration. During his tenure, he led numerous asset repositioning programs aimed at increasing asset value, and advised clients on long- and short-term strategic planning, cost-efficient building operations and overall value enhancement.

“We are thrilled to welcome Wayne to the Jack Resnick & Sons family and look forward to his joining and collaborating with our existing team of best in class real estate professionals,” said Jonathan Resnick, President of Jack Resnick & Sons. “Wayne is a true New York real estate professional and brings incredible depth and experience to this new position.”

Resnick’s portfolio of Midtown and Downtown properties, includes 315 Hudson Street, a neoclassical office building that will serve as part of Google’s $1 billion Hudson Square campus, and 110 East 59th Street, a Plaza District tower that recently underwent a $40 million capital improvement program.

Taub received a Bachelor of Science in Marketing from Rider University and earned a Master of Science in Real Estate Development and Investment from New York University. He is an active member of industry organizations such as the Building Owners Managers Association (BOMA), the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY), and CoreNet Global. In addition, Taub has served as guest lecturer at Columbia University’s School of Urban Development and as an adjunct professor at New York University’s School of Continuing Education.
