"We’re thrilled to kick off this very special year with this important presentation," says NYCREW's 2011 president Karen Dome, an associate broker at Marcus & Millichap. "NYCREW is about offering our members the skills and information they need to achieve greater success in commercial real estate – and opportunities to meet and interact so they can do business together. No information is more useful than one of the foremost experts in real estate giving us the benefit of his expertise."

"Crowell & Moring is delighted to sponsor and host this event in our offices," added Barbara E. Champoux, Esq., a partner in the firm and NYCREW's 2011 past president. "We are committed to supporting NYCREW's mission of advancing the success of women in the profession, and know that Dennis' thought leadership and analysis will enhance such efforts."

Previously, he served as national director of the Real Estate Capital Markets practice for Deloitte Consulting LLP. He also has worked with Kenneth Leventhal & Co., Price Waterhouse Coopers and A.T. Kearney Inc. He has been involved in dozens of high-profile workouts, restructurings and reorganizations, including work with Travelers Life Insurance Co, Prudential Financial Inc, and Trump Organization. He also has worked in real estate purchases for clients including Apollo Management Co., Blackstone Group, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, and with several government agencies, including the US Resolution Trust Corp., US Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and with Japanese and United Kingdom governmental entities.

"The breadth of Dennis Yeskey's background and his extensive experience in real estate and finance make him the perfect person to give us a preview of our industry in 2011, just as he did in 2010," says Faith Hope Consolo, a NYCREW board member and Chairman of Prudential Douglas Elliman's Retail Group. "I’m looking forward to an informative and fun evening, and a perfect way to start celebrating our 10th anniversary."

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
