Related Companies today announced that Jeffrey I. Brodsky has been promoted to the role of vice chairman.
In this new role, Brodsky will work closely with Related’s executive team to optimize business development and drive improved performance and results, across the platform and internationally, as Related continues its growth and expansion.

“Jeff Brodsky has been an invaluable member of the Related team for more than three decades,” said Related’s founder and Chairman Stephen M. Ross. “Jeff has an unwavering commitment to excellence and deep and broad knowledge of our businesses. He is uniquely positioned to work with the entire executive leadership team and help write the next chapter of growth for Related.”
“I first joined Related over 30 years ago as a young associate and am extremely proud of the platform and teams I have helped build and grow,” said Brodsky. “In this new role, I look forward to continuing to work Stephen, Jeff, Bruce and Ken to help drive the visionary goals they have set for this extraordinary organization, further enhance our competitive capabilities and grow our businesses.”
Brodsky first joined Related as an associate in 1982 after earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Master’s degree in Business Administration from New York University.
During the last 30-plus years he has risen through the ranks to become the president of Related Management and executive vice president of Related Affordable – positions he has held for the last 18 years.
As the company’s property portfolio has grown in size and complexity, Brodsky has continuously expanded and re-organized Related’s management team to create a platform that is unmatched in the industry and renowned for its commitment to excellence.
Brodsky also spearheaded several signature initiatives including, most recently, an effort where Related became the first developer in the nation to implement a smoke-free policy across all asset classes – further expanding Related’s commitment to healthy living.
