JEROME HOLLO

CEO, FLORIDA EAST COAST REALTY, MIAMI

The son of real estate legend Tibor Hollo, the younger Hollo, a philosophy major, wanted a future in the family business but also went into law. He worked at his father's development firm while attending law school. He interned for U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King, worked at a law firm and then went full-time at Florida East Coast Realty. He became CEO this year. Hollo served on the Miami Downtown Development Authority board for 18 years, sits on the University of Miami School of Arts & Sciences' Visiting Committee and School of Law's Real Property Development LLM advisory board.

EDUCATION: University of Miami (BA, JD)

IN MY DOWNTIME: I enjoy taking advantage of our No. 1 natural resource — water. Especially during the summer months, I will do a substantial amount of diving.

NEXT BIG FOCUS: Our next landmark project — One Bayfront Plaza, a planned 1,049-feet, 3.3 million-sq.-ft. development featuring residential, hospitality, office and retail uses. We continue to be bullish on the Downtown Miami and Brickell submarkets and see strong demand for Class A mixed-use development for years to come.

NEXT GEN ADVICE: Success is no accident. I learned that firsthand at home. Growing up, my father always said, “Work hard until you get there. When you get there, work harder.”

PERSONAL RESET: A long walk with my dogs, reading a book or watching a favorite show with my wife.
