Brew previously served as vice president of finance and provided consulting services at Formation Capital, a private equity firm with expertise in the senior housing industry. While at Formation, Brew played key roles in the company’s M&A due diligence, and financial modeling and analysis processes. This included the post-acquisition integration and oversight of Genesis Health Care, a $2 billion former public company that owns and operates more than 200 nursing facilities and a respiratory rehabilitation company. He also centralized the finance and accounting functions of Tandem Health Care, which resulted in more than $1 million in annual savings in its operation of more than 70 nursing facilities.
Brew earlier served as treasurer and chief accounting officer at Jameson Inns, a publicly traded owner, operator and developer of 120 hotels with annual revenues of $95 million. While at Jameson, he played a key role in raising equity, debt, and convertible debentures.
