"At the age of 13, an awkward time to change schools, Corinne Verdery moved from Oahu, Hawaii, to Mission Viejo in Orange County with her parents and younger sister. It was a different world. I'm in a classroom and everybody's got blonde hair, Verdery, now CEO of Caruso, said. I think it shaped me back then to know how to pivot and adapt and embrace the uncomfortable."
"Caruso founded his Los Angeles-based firm in 1987. Its portfolio is predominantly retail and restaurants and includes The Grove in Fairfax (where the firm is based), Palisades Village in the Pacific Palisades (slated to reopen in August), The Americana at Brand in Glendale, Village at Moorpark and The Lakes at Thousand Oaks. More residences are on the way and the firm is also eyeing assets beyond California."
Corinne Verdery moved from Oahu to Orange County at 13, an experience that fostered adaptability and a taste for new challenges. Her career spanned NBC Universal's theme park division and Alagem Capital Group, where she helped bring the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills to fruition through extensive public hearings and a ballot measure. She joined Rick Caruso's firm in 2016, rose to chief development officer, and became CEO in September 2022. She oversaw projects including the Rosewood Miramar Beach resort and Palisades Village, helped launch wildfire recovery nonprofit Steadfast LA, and led Caruso to 7 percent net operating income growth in 2024.
