Joy Sinderbrand, former Associate Vice President of Washington Square Partners, was appointed Vice President for Disaster Recovery and Resilience (formerly known as the Office of Disaster Recovery) in July 2016. In this role, Ms. Sinderbrand will set forth a new vision that shifts the Authority’s focus from recovery to resiliency, reflecting the change in her department’s title as well as the intrinsic nature of the capital projects work NYCHA will complete as part of our NextGeneration goals. She will also provide leadership to in-house staff and outside consultants responsible for executing NYCHA’s $3 billion FEMA grant construction projects.
Ms. Sinderbrand brings a wealth of complex capital projects management experience to her position. As Associate Vice President of Washington Square Partners, she worked with developers, non-profits, universities, unions, and government agencies to advance development projects and public-private partnerships in New York City. At the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, she spearheaded projects to expand capacity at New York’s Penn Station, including Access to the Region’s Core and Moynihan Station. Ms. Sinderbrand’s prior work included project management at the NYC Department of Transportation, budget analysis for the New York City Office of Management and Budget, and projects related to transportation and post-conflict service provision for United Nations agencies in Thailand and South Sudan.
