The new CSO role reinforces LCS's commitment to delivering exceptional value, unparalleled performance, and best-in-class senior living experiences for its residents and communities. Pusateri will work closely with the LCS executive team, business development, and sales and marketing leaders to develop, drive, and elevate initiatives that align with the company’s occupancy goals.
“Jim is a visionary leader in our industry, and his talent will elevate our capabilities as our company and portfolio continues to grow,” said Chris Bird, LCS President and Chief Operating Officer. “Even more, his thoughtful, intentional, and passionate approach will provide our community Sales teams with the support they need to serve our current and future residents.
