I’m Conor Flynn, President of the Western Region at Kimco. My team manages and operates the shopping centers we own in California, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, and Oregon. I joined Kimco in 2003 and prior to this position I served in a few other roles -- President of the Northwest Region, Vice President of the Northwest Region, Asset Manager for the Western Region, and Director of Real Estate Redevelopment. I am proficient in Spanish and use this to work with Kimco’s Mexico development team in bringing U.S. retailers into Mexico’s retail market, and vice versa. It’s been an exciting experience working at Kimco because every day is different. My team values collaboration, and we’ve worked together successfully on West Coast company operations, which is very rewarding for me. I received my master’s degree in real estate development from Columbia University, and bachelor’s degree in economics from Yale University. I live in Sausalito, Calif., with my wife. We love to travel, hike, and bike. In fact, our newest hobby is paddle boarding. I’m also a golf and tennis enthusiast, so anytime I’m not in the office, you can find me in the great outdoors!
