Windsor Management

Windsor Management volunteered this week by supporting Fostering Wishes' holiday drive!

Windsor Spotlight: Stephanie Boone Director of Operations Words from Stephanie Boone: "Over twenty years ago, I picked up my first pair of ice skates. I quickly developed my roots as a figure skater, where I learned discipline, resilience, and a drive to constantly push myself toward excellence. The ice demanded focus, adaptability, and mental fortitude—qualities that have been instrumental in shaping who I am today. Although I did not pursue figure skating professionally, the lessons I learned on the ice still shape my approach to both life and work.   In the summer of 2023, I joined Windsor's operations team as an Operations Coordinator. The role was a perfect fit for me—requiring quick thinking, problem-solving, and strategic planning. Although I was no longer aiming to land a jump, the skills I developed as a skater, such as staying focused under pressure and continuously assessing performance to improve, were just as important in my new role. My sense of discipline and commitment became key drivers in ensuring both my success and that of my team.   A year later, I was honored to be promoted to Director of Operations. Stepping into this new role has been an exciting milestone. Windsor Management sets the standard in commercial property management, but what truly sets us apart is our people. The dedication and expertise within our team make it a privilege to lead alongside them. As our operations team continues to grow, I’m focused on creating a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. Together, we tackle challenges with confidence, knowing we can navigate any situation, just as I learned to do on the ice.   Outside of work, I’m a mom to a spirited 4-year-old who is my light and reminds me to find joy in the everyday moments. I’m eager to continue learning, growing, and contributing to Windsor’s success alongside such talented and inspiring teammates. Here’s to what’s ahead. " #windsormanagement #nonresidentialrealestate #realestate #commercial #propertymanagement

Windsor Management had an Ugly Sweater Competition! Our Director of Operations, Stephanie Boone, won “Most Creative" and “Best Homemade!” If you look closely, Stephanie has decorated and created seven unique stockings, each representing a member of her team! She has added the name of each team member to their stocking! She attached all seven stockings to her sweater and also added tinsel, bows, and battery-operated lights. Furthermore, at the center of her sweater is a plastic snowglobe that, with added air through the straw, creates snow. The votes for her sweater were nearly unanimous!! Pictured below is our Operations Team! #windsormanagement #realestate #bayarea #nonresidentialrealestate #commercialpropertymanagement

“Every role at Windsor matters, and this role is no exception.” Josie, our Executive Assistant, wrote this in the job description for an office coordinator. She quickly found and hired Lyric Jones to join the team. Our previous office coordinator, Alani, went back to college and passed the torch to Lyric. Alani initially paved the way, and Lyric continued to blaze the trail. In addition to managing the office, Lyric was also instrumental in coordinating events, running projects, and assisting in recruitment. Overall, we’re incredibly proud of Lyric as she has recently been accepted to the electrocardiograph technician program at SF State. She is now ready to pass the torch to the next office coordinator to join our team. Although we are saddened to see her go, we are proud of the impact that she has left on the team. She played an important role in Windsor’s history, so we’d love to share her story. Windsor Spotlight: Lyric Jones Office Coordinator Words from Lyric: “When I applied to Windsor Management, I could have never envisioned the growth and opportunities that would be presented to me. I was fresh out of my first year of college and looking for a sense of stability. In only ten months, I had studied both down the road from my home at Diablo Valley College and over 3,000 miles away at Howard University. I was excited for a challenge and the opportunity to grow my professional skills as I headed into my second year of undergrad. Today, my set of skills is almost unrecognizable in comparison to where I was when I started at Windsor. The company drew me in instantly, jumping at the opportunity to work at such a successful woman-owned business. The connections that I have made with the incredible team that makes up this company are irreplaceable. I had worried about working with a team whose experience trumped mine so much, but I have only had amazing experiences with welcoming people who were eager to help me grow. As I continue to move forward with my studies and my goal to work in healthcare, I feel infinitely more prepared to enter the competitive workforce. I am excited to see what the future brings and will be forever grateful for the opportunity to be a part of Windsor.” #realestate #commercialpropertymanagement #propertymanagement #nonresidentialrealestate

Fifteen years ago, in November 2009, Elizabeth Griggs founded Windsor Management with a vision and a small but mighty team of three. She named the company “Windsor” after the street she grew up in. Today, Windsor has grown to a team of 32, experiencing remarkable growth in just the last five years—quickly expanding from a team of 8 to 32. Windsor's growth is organic and due to word-of-mouth referrals. It is a testament to our team’s dedication, the trust of our clients, and the reputation we’ve built together. Some milestones we're incredibly proud of: 🏆 Recognized as one of the SF Business Times Fastest Growing Bay Area Companies list for 2022, 2023, and 2024. 👩💼 Recognized as one of the SF Business Times Top Female-Owned Companies for 2022, 2023, and 2024. ✅ Recently Certified as a Great Place To Work US, a testament to the amazing culture our team has created together. But what truly inspires us is the ability to give back to our local community. Our recent partnership with Fostering Wishes, a local nonprofit supporting foster children, is a recent highlight of Windsor’s journey. Fostering Wishes runs entirely through volunteers, and we have been inspired to volunteer our time to their initiatives. #GPTW #SFBusinessTimes #nonresidentialrealestate #realestate #commercial #Bayarea #PropertyManagement

We wanted to partner with a local nonprofit when we met Sabine Lemmo from Fostering Wishes. Sabine founded Fostering Wishes in 2017 and has dedicated her time and resources to helping foster children. Fostering Wishes runs entirely through volunteers! Each year, she hosts a Holiday Drive where she collaborates with businesses to provide gifts to foster children. The gift is beyond material value but rather has significance to foster children that they are valued and remembered. A group of our staff had the opportunity to support Sabine in organizing, fluffing, and tagging her trees. Our staff has signed up for different events for Fostering Wishes to support her drive. If you're looking to volunteer, or are looking for your company to volunteer, or are looking for your business to support a holiday drive, please do contact Sabine - https://lnkd.in/g-HxDqMX #fosteringwishes #nonprofits #bayareanonprofits #holidaydrive

Windsor Spotlight: Kassandra Kappelos Associate Director of Property Management Words from Kassandra: "In 2008, I received my Masters in Business Administration. I was humble and hungry and on the hunt for my next role. I stumbled into a residential real estate opportunity in managing an apartment building and working in the corporate office. I couldn't refuse the offer of cheap rent. Little did I know that this would launch my career in property management. Fast-forward 15 years, I am still humble and hungry. In my time in property management, I developed a unique blend of expertise in both operations and construction project management. I had the opportunity to oversee complex projects, and I developed a passion for efficiency and streamlined processes.   Last December of 2023, I was cutting my teeth in commercial real estate, working for a developer, when I had the opportunity to meet Elizabeth, Tyler, Sally, and Josie. They pitched me to join Windsor Management. Instantly, I knew. I was hooked. It was an opportunity that would allow me to align myself with an energetic team on a path to continued growth and success. Not only did they encourage my ambition and drive, they also supported my desire for work-life balance, given that I just became a first-time parent a few years ago.   I joined as a Portfolio Manager and, within my first year, was promoted to Associate Director of Property Management. Overall, I am driven by the challenge of turning our visions into reality and working to blaze the trail for our team. Outside the office, I’m a proud mom of a curious and energetic 5-year-old, constantly balancing my professional ambition with the joys of motherhood. Whether I'm juggling family life or leading teams through projects, I thrive on creating order from chaos and delivering results that matter.” Kassandra Kappelos, MBA #nonresidentialrealestate #realestate #BayArea
