The Lancer Group is proud to announce the placement of Chris Fontan as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Grace Hill, a leading provider of talent and compliance solutions for the property management industry.

This critical hire was made possible through a collaborative partnership with Aurora Capital Partners, Grace Hill’s private equity backer. We are grateful to have worked closely with Jim Lindner, Operating Partner at Aurora Capital, and Kendall Pretzer, Grace Hill’s CEO, whose strategic vision and leadership were instrumental throughout the process.

Grace Hill has earned its reputation as an innovator in the property management SaaS vertical. The company offers cutting-edge tools and technology to help property owners and operators enhance performance, mitigate risks, and develop top talent. Backed by Aurora Capital, the company is driving transformative growth and maintaining its position as an industry leader.

His expertise will play a pivotal role in shaping the company’s technology strategy, enabling continued innovation and delivering exceptional value to its clients.

We are honored to have partnered with Grace Hill team on this important placement and look forward to seeing the value that Chris will create in this new role.
