Everett Schulz

Prior to forming Ashford Sato, Everett spent seven years at L Catterton Real Estate, an LVMH-backed private equity platform that develops significant luxury retail-driven real estate projects globally.

  • At L Catterton Real Estate, Everett helped shape complex destinations such as the Miami Design District, managing large-scale developments from early vision through execution. His work with a wide range of retail and hospitality tenants offered a practical view into how different consumer-facing businesses operate and create value.

    That experience reinforced the simple idea that enduring value comes from caring, intention, and accumulated knowledge. He now applies the same discipline and respect for craft to individual operating businesses, focusing on the people and capabilities that make them great.
