Jean Brune

I'm a highly accomplished and results-driven leader with a passion for driving impactful growth. My experience spans real estate investment, product management, sales, and community building, with a consistent track record of exceeding expectations and delivering exceptional results. Currently, I'm the Community & Social Media Manager at PadSplit, where I develop and execute engaging social media strategies to increase brand awareness and community engagement. Prior to this, I led the full product lifecycle for PadSplit's Host2Own product, a rent-to-own initiative aimed at increasing affordable housing solutions. My career began in finance at Wells Fargo, where I honed my analytical and relationship management skills in commercial real estate and middle-market banking. I then transitioned to the startup world, joining PadSplit as their first hire in 2018. Since then, I've played a pivotal role in their growth, leading various teams including acquisitions, sales, and partnerships. I'm adept at identifying opportunities, building scalable processes, and forging strategic alliances that drive business success. I'm a strong communicator, a collaborative team player, and a lifelong learner who thrives in dynamic environments. I'm passionate about making a real difference and contributing to the success of the companies I work with. Highlights: 1. Led acquisitions of 80+ properties for PadSplit's investment fund. 2. Played several roles in growing PadSplit's membership from 0 to 1000+ members in various roles. 3. Launched a rent-to-own experiment resulting in 22 signups and 6 mortgage approvals. 4. Forged 6 major partnerships with organizations like Delta and the Georgia Aquarium. Increased lending exposure to my client portfolio by 240% at Wells Fargo.
