Matthew Brown brings more than 25 years of university experience with on-campus student housing, serving as an Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs at Arizona State University, and as Senior Director of Housing at Oklahoma State University. As President of CMP, Matthew will continue to lead the growth of the company's portfolio of student housing communities under management, while supporting the strategic goals of Capstone and the universities with which Capstone and CMP partner in the P3 market sector.
Jana Faro brings more than 15 years of university and private sector experience in housing operations. Since joining CMP in 2017, Jana has spearheaded management transitions on multiple projects CMP has been engaged to manage, ensuring a smooth transition of each.
