Alex O’Brien
Board Member
Alex never quits and he never gives up. After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps as a supply and logistics officer, he co-founded the Cardinal Group, a fully integrated real estate management, investment, construction, and marketing firm focused on multifamily housing. As CEO, Alex has led one of the fastest-growing real estate management firms in the country, which now includes nearly 2,500 team members from coast to coast and border to border. Along the way, he earned an MBA (Finance) from The University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, started a family with his wife Meghan and their 4 children, and helped found Valor Bridge as a way of paying back the mentorship he received as a Marine.
