BOMA International is proud to announce the appointment of UnitedHealth Group’s Kjersten Jaeb, BOMA Fellow, RPA, LEED GA, as Chair and Chief Elected Officer of its Executive Committee, effective July 2026. An accomplished leader with 20 years of experience in the medical real estate sector, Jaeb succeeds Luci Smith and will lead the Executive Committee of the Board of Governors in advancing the organization's mission and strategic goals.

Currently serving as the Vice President of Asset and Portfolio Management at UnitedHealth Group, Jaeb oversees the national real estate strategy and asset management team. A long-time leader at BOMA, she has served both her local BOMA Greater Minneapolis association and Midwest Northern Region in committees and mentorship capacities. Since joining the Executive Committee in 2021, Jaeb has served continuously in International leadership roles, helping shape the organization’s direction and member engagement efforts.

As Chair, Jaeb will work alongside executive leadership to guide BOMA International's strategic vision, deepen connections with members, and advance initiatives that drive progress across the commercial real estate sector. She also becomes one of the few women to hold this leadership position in BOMA International's history, marking a significant milestone in the organization's ongoing commitment to diverse and inclusive leadership.

“It is an incredible honor to serve as Chair of BOMA International during such an exciting time for our industry,” says Jaeb. “Throughout this past week, we were reminded that many of the things we now take for granted were once thought impossible. That spirit of possibility inspires me as we look toward the future of our industry. As only the fourth woman—and one of the youngest leaders—to serve as Chair, I hope my journey encourages others to see that leadership has many paths and many voices. This year, I look forward to building on the resilience, innovation, and servant leadership that defines BOMA and ensuring every member knows they belong here.”

The 2026-2027 Executive Committee is led by Kjersten Jaeb as Chair and Chief Elected Officer, Glenn Good as Chair-Elect, Marc Gille as Vice Chair, and Don Fairgrieve-Park as Secretary/Treasurer. The newly elected and reelected members for the 2026-2028 Executive Committee of the Board of Governors include Andy Hayford, Macky Guilherme, Dana Getz, Elizabeth Despins, Laurie Zydonik, Christopher M. Horsley, and Matt Faupel, who will serve alongside current Executive Committee Members.
