Leading with Purpose:
Legacy, Leadership and Resillience

Leadership is shaped not only by success, but by the challenges that test it. In this episode of Building Better Communities, Bob Hart sits down with Sharon Karaffa, President of Multifamily Debt & Structured Finance at Newmark, to reflect on a career that has spanned public service, private capital, and some of the most consequential moments in housing finance.

Their conversation explores the importance of mentorship, leading through uncertainty, finding resilience in the face of personal and professional challenges, and the legacy leaders leave through the people they inspire and the communities they help shape. A thoughtful discussion on leadership, purpose, and making a lasting impact.
