Most recently, as Regional Vice President at Equity Lifestyle Properties, I have provided executive oversight for a $220M+ annual revenue portfolio consisting of 50+ diverse assets. My expertise lies in scaling geographically dispersed platforms, mentoring large leadership teams (160+ direct/indirect reports), and executing complex turnarounds. Whether navigating post-hurricane reconstructions or delivering double-digit OPEX reductions, my focus remains on building disciplined operational frameworks that ensure long-term scalability and investor value.

I am currently exploring new executive-level opportunities where I can leverage my experience in the multifamily, RV, and manufactured housing sectors. I am open to relocation and have a history of 75%+ travel. I live near Tampa, FL but also have a home in Charlotte, NC for easy relocation within the SE.

I have attached my resume for your review and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your current or upcoming executive searches.

Best regards,

Jonathan A. Merkle
