Privately-owned life science real estate services firm Longfellow Real Estate Partners has announced a restructuring of its leadership team following the company’s substantial growth throughout 2020 and Q1 2021.

As part of the organizational changes, Longfellow co-founder Adam Sichol has been named CEO, a newly created position in which he will be responsible for directing Longfellow’s overall strategic direction and its continued portfolio expansion. The firm’s other co-founder, Jamie Peschel, will step back from day-to-day oversight of Longfellow and will assume the role of Senior Partner. Peschel will provide oversight of the investments team and focus on strategy, investment management, fundraising, and investor relations.

In addition, Longfellow Partner Jessica Brock will expand her existing responsibilities as Partner, Real Estate Operations. Senior executives Joe Van Saun and Jill Ratke will retain their titles as Partners, while also expanding their areas of responsibilities.
