About Clay Stephens

Retail real estate executive with demonstrated experience leading strategy and fast-paced growth and development in the retail segment. Diverse retail real estate business and legal background provides a unique understanding and problem-solving approach to issues of concern to retailers and the developers and landlords upon whom they rely. I have recruited, retained, and developed first-class real estate teams, while managing all disciplines typical of a retail real estate department. My roles have focused on creating and executing both short and long term new store growth and existing portfolio strategies, site selection analytics implementation, and process improvement company-wide to achieve close-in and long-term results while managing competing priorities in a fast paced, high growth environment. My broad experience has translated into executive presence and strong communication skills and relationships within all levels of an organization including communication with C-Suite, vendors, and teams.
