Insights

UDR appoints experienced financial executive David Bragg as new CFO with strong compensation package and relevant industry background.

UDR's appointment of David Bragg as Senior Vice President - Chief Financial Officer represents a strategically significant leadership transition. Bragg brings valuable sector-specific expertise, having served as CFO at Roots Management Group and held senior positions at Green Street where he led residential research. His background combines both operational financial leadership and deep analytical experience in the real estate sector.

The comprehensive compensation package reflects the company's commitment to securing top talent, with a $500,000 base salary, $750,000 target annual bonus, and $1,000,000 in long-term incentives. The additional $200,000 signing bonus and substantial $2,000,000 equity award (vesting over five years) serve as powerful retention mechanisms while aligning Bragg's interests with shareholders.

This transition appears well-orchestrated, with the current CFO Joseph Fisher retaining his roles as President and Chief Investment Officer. This structured approach suggests an orderly transfer of responsibilities while maintaining continuity in the company's investment strategy. The five-year vesting schedule for Bragg's equity award indicates the board is focused on long-term stability in this critical financial leadership position.
