The partnership between MCB and Artemis successfully executed transactions exceeding $500 million across diverse real estate sectors, including retail, industrial, and office assets.
“Partnering with Gina for 8 years, we were challenged and pushed in the very best ways,” says Bramble. “She is a game changer with the vision, relationships, and passion to scale MCB to our full potential. Now, as President of MCB, Chambers is poised to infuse the organization with her entrepreneurial vigor.”
Leveraging her experience as an investor, nurturing industry relationships, and formulating strategic growth plans, she aims to steer MCB towards new heights of success. Bramble and Pinkard remain steadfast in their commitment to actively raise capital and make impactful investments at MCB, while Gina fortifies the strategic and operational capabilities of the organization.

With a national presence and a robust financial position, MCB is uniquely poised for continued expansion and success under Gina’s adept leadership.
