Jake Lisby, CEO of Buzz, emphasized the alignment between Buzz’s mission and that of the Council, stating, “To create real value, it is critical to understand both the industry and the technology. Our employees have deep experience in both, and we look forward to connecting with other leaders in the multifamily industry to help identify areas for improved performance.” Lisby’s comments reflect the shared goal of leveraging AI and technology to streamline operations and enhance overall business performance within the multifamily industry.
