About Me
Product, SEO, Innovation
Hi, I'm Jordan. I have a passion for solving complex and challenging business problems. I play ultimate frisbee, love sailing, and enjoy cooking.
I am Senior Director of Product, SEO at CoStar Group (Nasdaq: CSGP), the leading provider of commercial real estate information, analytics and online marketplaces. I lead the product, search engine optimization (SEO), content, and geographies for the Apartments.com Network of rental marketplaces.
Before working at Apartments.com, I crafted and executed SEO, analytics, and digital marketing strategies for clients such as Alston & Bird, AT&T U-verse, Atlanta Ballet, Ashton Woods Homes, Cartoon Network, GameStop, Kimberly-Clark, Lowe’s, NASCAR and Zaxby’s while at Search Discovery and Relevance Advisors.
For school, I attended Emory University and hold a bachelor’s in business administration with concentrations in Marketing and Organization and Management from the Goizueta Business School and a minor in Theater Studies from Emory College.
