Pope Resources, Poulsbo, Wash., USA, this week announced that John Lamb has been appointed VP and CFO, effective April 20.  Lamb succeeds Tom Ringo, who became Pope Resources' president and CEO in December 2014 after having served as Interim CEO since June 2014.

Lamb has more than 20 years of experience in finance and operations working for property management and real estate companies. He joins Pope Resources from Segale Properties where he was responsible for the firm's property management and leasing activities as well as long-term development plans.  Prior to joining Segale Properties, from 1997 through 2013 Lamb was CFO and SVP of Unico Properties, a Seattle-based real estate firm with more than $1 billion in assets under management. From 1990 to 1997, he worked as corporate controller for Shurgard Storage Centers, a publicly traded Seattle-based REIT with operations throughout the U.S. and Europe.  Lamb worked for both Ernst & Young and KPMG early in his career where his clients included forest products companies. He is a licensed real estate broker, and a graduate of Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash.   

"John's executive experience with public and private companies has given him valuable exposure to real estate generally, and private equity funds and REITs particularly that will dovetail well with our range of operating businesses and future strategies," said Tom Ringo, Pope Resources' president and CEO.  "We are pleased to welcome him to our senior leadership team as we take the company forward."
