As managing partner, equity capital markets, Gabriel Millard is an instrumental leader behind the company’s success. Since joining Avenue Living in 2018, he has helped the firm grow to over $6.5 billion AUM.
Overseeing all aspects related to equity capital markets, his role encompasses fund creation and modelling, capital raising, investor relations, fund operations, corporate finance, and national accounts. These responsibilities are critical to creating long-term value across Avenue Living’s diverse portfolio, which spans multi-family, self-storage, commercial, and farmland assets.
“I am committed to relentless hard work and positioning myself to recognize and seize serendipitous opportunities in real estate and high finance. Success naturally follows from dedication and the ability to act on chance moments,” says Millard.
Going against the grain and challenging the status quo has enabled the 34-year-old to have a remarkable start to his career.
“My refusal to accept ‘We’ve always done it this way’ has been crucial. By approaching every problem from first principles and embracing the possibility of failure, I’ve been able to innovate and seize opportunities that drive my career forward,” he says.
Having genuine empathy enables him to navigate and understand diverse perspectives, even in difficult situations. By striving to comprehend others’ motivations, he develops win-win solutions rather than settling for superficial compromises.
“It’s crucial to grasp how these challenges affect stakeholders. I always prioritize transparent communication to build trust and ensure we continuously improve and offer better long-term solutions for the future.”
Founding partners at Avenue Living, Anthony Giuffre and Jason Jogia, continue to provide invaluable support, fostering Millard’s ongoing development and success.
He says, “My previous experiences have armed me with the skills necessary to approach the industry from a fresh perspective, enabling me to innovate and develop unique solutions. By embracing new methods and continuously learning from seasoned leaders, I drive our organization forward with both creativity and informed strategy.”
