As the Chief Operating & Compliance Officer of New Empire Corp and its related subsidiaries, Anthony is responsible for global operations and all vertically integrated real estate development divisions. His key role is to pave the way for institutional capital and scalability. As an experienced operational executive, Anthony oversees the organization’s procedures and is responsible for maximizing efficiencies to standardize, centralize, and optimize operations and workflow in order to meet returns to investors and capital partners.

During the Giuliani and Bloomberg Administrations, the NYC Housing Authority Chairman appointed Anthony as Deputy Director of the Housing Finance Department, where he supported and operated a $600 million development portfolio and oversaw a $100 million reorganization and relocation of divisional staff.

He has shared the stage with panelists with more than $5 billion of AUM, including a 2019 summit focused on the state of the US real estate cycle; that room collectively had more than $1 trillion of AUM.
