During his tenure, Katcher has set himself apart as a diligent market analyst and multi-market tenant representative with a focus on New York City.
Katcher’s career experience includes negotiating an entire floor (25,000 square feet) for Yahoo!/GeoCities at 1065 Avenue of the Americas to accommodate their rapid growth and advising MapQuest.com through its expansive growth at 432 Park Avenue South and IPO prior to its acquisition by AOL.
In 2006, Katcher was hired by the private equity firm Lindsay Goldberg LLC, where he completed pre-acquisition due diligence and developed post-acquisition strategy through implementation for multiple portfolio companies, including EnergySolutions, Brock Group and Brightstar.
