Sarah Jones‐Maturo • RM Friedland
Sarah Jones‐Maturo is a woman leader in a man’s world of commercial real estate. As President and CEO of RM Friedland, Westchester’s largest commercial real estate company, Jones‐Maturo has instituted a number of groundbreaking changes since she took over the company six years ago at the young age of 32. The company, which is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year, has come a long way in positioning itself toward the future. Under her leadership, the company has taken better advantage of the expertise of long‐time brokers, hired new, energized brokers and rebranded the company.
She is now concentrating on expanding her mission of making RM Friedland more diverse and inclusive, an area in which the company has already distinguished itself. In addition to its female CEO, of RM Friedland’s 21 brokers, eight are women, one African‐American, one Muslim and five are under 40. Jones‐Maturo believes that green is the way of the future. She took pride in overseeing the remodeling of the company’s new offices in Harrison, making sure that the design incorporated green elements throughout.
“We’re using what we’ve learned during the pandemic to help inform our strategy. We’re doing our best to disseminate critical information we’ve gathered that will affect our industry and our region both internally and to our clients.”
