RENO, NV (PRWEB) March 28, 2016 -- Capstak, the commercial real estate market network, announced the hiring of Ben Lucchesi as Chief Technology Officer. Formerly, Ben Lucchesi led all website architecture for Granicus, the leading government cloud computing provider.
“We are excited to have Ben lead platform development and expansion of our technical team,” said Capstak Co-Founder & CEO Michael Schnabel. “His ability and experience building large scale systems is second to none. Coupled with our Co-Founders’ commercial real estate industry expertise, Capstak will be the platform and catalyst for creating a transparent, connected and knowledgeable commercial real estate community.”
In his time at Granicus, the company grew from dozens of customers to thousands of customers, from four to 130+ people, and their content management system - one of the largest collection of legislative data collections in the world - managed over 100 years worth of government video content. Ben grew the San Francisco technical team in operations and support, as well as overseeing architectural growth decisions.
“We’re building a platform that is regionally and contextually relevant to the haves, wants, and happenings of commercial real estate professionals,” said Ben Lucchesi, the new Capstak CTO. “We’re building a system that will distribute appropriately and efficiently for a large volume of professionals.”
