Proptech Firm Fortress Names Chief Marketing Officer
Chicago-based property management technology firm Fortress has named Marc Ruzten as chief marketing officer. Rutzen brings more than a decade of experience ranging from real estate development and brokerage to founding Enodo, a predictive analytics startup that projected the impact of value-add renovations on rent, expenses, and investment performance in multifamily assets.
When Walker & Dunlop acquired Enodo in 2019, Rutzen joined the company as SVP of Information Technology before moving up to the role of chief product officer. Last November, Walker & Dunlop invested in Fortress, and Rutzen provided strategic consulting before taking on the new role of chief marketing officer.
“The property management software industry has gone too long without real innovation or improvement,” said Rutzen. “Fortress is changing the game with a platform that is unbelievably easy to use and learn, loved by on-site managers and can onboard a portfolio in a matter of days, not weeks.”
