With an outdated infrastructure that is ill equipped to serve its large and growing population, Los Angeles is in need of major public works and infrastructure development, including new roads and bridges, improving water treatment plants, revitalizing open spaces, and repairing waterways. Because the high demand for such projects significantly exceeds limited public resources, the Office of the City Administrative Officer hired FUSE Executive Fellow Korin Crawford to work with city agencies to identify and explore innovative public-private partnerships that can help finance its rapidly growing infrastructure needs.
KORIN CRAWFORD (2015-16) is an entrepreneurial leader with more than 15 years of experience in real estate, urban infrastructure, and property acquisition. He completed the Stanford MSx Program, a master's program for mid-career professionals at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Previously, Korin was managing partner of Ekology Infrastructure, offering advisory services to investors, utilities, and public agencies on building innovative portfolios of sustainable infrastructure. As an independent individual investor, Korin built a 35-unit, $9 million portfolio of residential real estate in the Bay Area. He holds a B.S. in electrical and computer engineering from Duke University and an M.S. in electrical engineering from Stanford University.
