In this episode of Deconstructed, Vivek Kartha, CEO of WorkSpace, talks with Dennis Grzeskowiak of Bellwether Asset Management. Bellwether started as an independently owned company of three people eight years ago. Today, they manage over $50B in assets with a fast-growing team of over 70.

Dennis shares his three key components of asset management that draw clients to them when they’re feeling pressure in the marketplace—including the goals they provide that make Bellwether a true client partner.

We discuss why for most companies an external solution like Bellwether is a better solution than trying to develop an internal solution.

Dennis also shares the competitive advantages they have over their competitors, including larger solutions like Lone Star and Deutsche Bank.

We also discuss changes that happened in 2020 and what they meant for commercial real estate and Bellwether individually.

Dennis talks about making tech decisions, including the real considerations beyond how the technology is applied.

Finally, the episode ends with great advice for new talent entering the industry—insight based on Bellwether’s two-year training program for new analysts.
