Robin E. Gidney, Vice President

One of the key hallmarks of the MLC process is the smooth and efficient processing of projects. As VP of Operations, Ms. Gidney is responsible for maintaining our high level of client satisfaction by anticipating and quickly resolving any issues that might arise before and during the process.

Ms. Gidney oversees deals from start to finish, including offering cost-effective options, developing proposals, and closely coordinating with the municipality, investor, attorney, insurance company, and escrow bank. Ms. Gidney joined the MLC team in 1997, building on her senior management success at a leading business services company.
