Bill Hankowsky is chairman, chief executive officer and president of Liberty Property Trust, a leading, publicly-traded office and industrial real estate company. During this CEO Insight session, he will share experiences from a very varied real estate career in both the public and private sectors. Before he could finish his academic career, Hankowsky was plucked from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania by the City of Camden, N.J. with the mission to create a new Department of Community Development. After spending eight years with Camden heading community development and then economic development, he spent three years in rail industry real estate for Amtrak and The Reading Company. He then joined the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation, one of the nation's premier economic development agencies. His career at PIDC was briefly interrupted by a two-year stint as the city of Philadelphia's commerce director, but in his 11-year tenure as president of PIDC, he was responsible for managing 11 industrial parks, operating 20 loan programs and coordinating major projects including Philadelphia's new convention center and the development of Lincoln Financial Field for the Philadelphia Eagles and Citizen's Bank Park for the Philadelphia Phillies. Making the leap from the public sector to the private in 2001, Hankowsky has been chairman and chief executive officer of Liberty Property Trust since 2003. He will discuss Liberty's significant growth, the challenge of maintaining an entrepreneurial culture in a growing, public company and Liberty's early and continuing commitment to sustainable development and real estate management.
