Greenberg Gibbons

Kimberly Potember serves as executive vice president and director of development and on the Executive Board of Directors for Greenberg Gibbons, a premier investor, developer, and manager of retail, mixed-use, and flex properties. With more than 40 years in the commercial real estate industry, Potember will be an irreplaceable leader following her retirement in 2023.

Since 2003, Potember has managed all development efforts for the company’s portfolio of properties, which includes the facilitation of contracts, permits, budgets, plans, schedules, and more from pre-conceptualization to fully operating properties. Greenberg Gibbons has developed a national reputation for taking “dead malls” or vacated properties and creating new vibrant community destinations.

Potember works hard from start to finish with county officials and community leaders to understand what they would like to see in a project and from there design one that is an asset for all to enjoy.

She leads with humility and confidence and inspires others as a successful woman in the commercial real estate industry. She is an advocate for animals and education. Previously, she served on the board of the Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce, as well as the 21st Century Education Foundation Board.

When asked what’s the best part of the job, Potember says, laughing, “It’s always amazing to see a project come to life. I do it all the time, but you start with the design, and you’re looking at it two-dimensionally, and as you start to build you see it come out of the ground. We have good people who work with us and for us.”
