GVA Advantis has named Michael Winters as president of the Central Florida region for the company. He was formerly managing director of the region.

He has more than 25 years of experience in commercial real estate, and has held executive management positions with Cushman & Wakefield, USAA Real Estate Co., The Hogan Group, South Mark Commercial, and Reynolds, Smith & Hills.

Winters is a member of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP). He is a past board member for the local chapters of both Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) and International Facility Management Association (IFMA).

Additionally, Winters will sit on GVA Advantis' newly formed Executive Committee along with the firm's four other regional presidents, who include Paul Thomann, handling Advantis Construction Co.; Bruce Ford, handling the Georgia and Carolinas region; Lucas Hewitt, handling Northwest Florida; and Deborah Stearns, handling Virginia and Washington, D.C.

"The establishment of regional presidents and the Executive Committee puts more authority and accountability at the local level, and streamlines the corporate decision-making process," said John K. Hutcheson, Chairman and CEO of GVA Advantis.
