Hi everyone, I’m Paul Puma, Kimco’s President of the Southeast and Florida Regions. I oversee our 189 shopping centers throughout eight southeastern states and Puerto Rico. That includes planning our overall strategy for our portfolio here, which covers leasing, property management, NOI growth, redevelopment, acquisitions, and dispositions. Before joining Kimco in 2005, I was Vice President of Peripheral Development for The Mills Corporation, and Sales/Leasing Director for The Rouse Company. I’ve been in the shopping center sector for about 30 years. I have a bachelor’s degree in business management and marketing from West Chester State University. I enjoy working out and running in my spare time.
