Building for Change: Tammy Jones of Basis Investment Group

In the United States, less than 20% of senior positions in Real Estate companies are held by women.

This week, meet Tammy Jones. Tammy is the founder and CEO of Basis Investment Group, a commercial real estate firm that has closed $4 billion in real estate investments across the United States. Tammy has held numerous executive positions at real estate investment companies including CWCapital LLC and Equitable Real Estate, and has invested capital for more than 14 public pension plans. Tammy is also a Trustee for Georgia State University.

"Investing with diverse managers and owners in and of itself has social impact, because we invest together and we hire each other," says Tammy. "No one can do everything across the diversity spectrum. You have to figure out what your area is, to be able to create and affect change."
