"We're grateful for Jeff's leadership and dedication to Building Intelligence.

Friedman will amplify the company’s vision further, deepen engagement with clients and partners, and spearhead new opportunities that will drive industry advancements.

“This transition represents a strategic step forward and ensures that Building Intelligence continues to lead the industry while strengthening our foundation for long-term success,” Friedman said. “I am excited to focus on expanding our market reach, driving innovation, and supporting Marc as he leads the company into the future.”

With more than 30 years of leadership experience, Rubner has guided organizations through transformation across multiple industries. He previously served as Founder and CEO of GreenStation Consulting and as CEO of DonorDrive. Earlier, as Vice President, Product Management and Marketing, Community Engagement and Campus Enablement at Blackboard, he led go-to-market strategies for the organization, a leading provider of access control and identity management in the higher education segment.

"I'm honored to join Building Intelligence at such an exciting time,” Rubner said. “Businesses continue to face challenges with securing and optimizing their facilities, from the lobby to the loading dock, and there is a significant opportunity to solve these problems through technology. I'm eager to drive the company forward, unlock significant value, and collaborate with our customers and partners as we embark on building our next phase of acceleration."
