Prior to joining Berkadia, Rogers spent over 5 years at Ventas, where he led mortgage debt capital markets activity across the company’s diversified healthcare portfolio. During his tenure, he originated over $6 billion in mortgage financing across banks, life companies, CMBS, agency, and debt fund lenders, while also supporting more than $10 billion in unsecured capital markets initiatives. He played a key role in managing Ventas’ broad lender relationships and capital structure strategy.
Earlier in his career, Rogers was with GGP (later Brookfield Properties Retail), where he executed more than $10 billion of debt financing across a national retail shopping center portfolio.
