NEW YORK - Dec. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Female executives tend to be very collaborative, and this will ultimately help fuel their rise in a meritocratic real estate industry, says MaryAnne Gilmartin, President and CEO of Forest City Ratner Companies.

Gilmartin’s comments are made in a new video panel discussion from PrivcapRe that also includes Susan Swanezy of Hodes Weill & Associates and Paula Schaefer of WX New York Women Executives in Real Estate.

The candid conversation, titled “How to Become a Female RE CEO,” takes head on the underrepresentation of female executives in institutional real estate development, investment, management and advisory work.

Among the subjects discussed:

·      How Forest City Ratner has grown a female-majority development business

·      Why historically few women have pursued careers in institutional real estate

·      The meaning of the pejorative term “pink ghetto”

·      How to get more women into corporate board positions

·      The “no-brainer” benefits of diversity in corporate America
