Former RealPage executive ushers in next chapter of professional services at renter-centric company

MARCH 13, 2024, TAMPA, FL — Funnel Leasing, the only front office product suite to successfully centralize operations for leading companies, today announced the hiring of multifamily industry veteran Leslie Turner as General Manager of Professional Services. In her new role, Turner will lead Funnel’s professional services department, which spans training, implementation, custom development, and consulting. Turner earned the multifamily industry’s admiration through her leadership at RealPage. She started on the original Rent Roll team in 1994, which became RealPage in 1998. She then held various leadership roles including President of OneSite, RealPage’s core Property Management Software. 

“With our long-standing ethos of providing excellent experiences to renters and residents, we also work to provide frictionless experiences to our clients. Leslie joining the team is a testament to our focus on growing this part of Funnel’s impact and our business as a whole,” said Tyler Christiansen, CEO, Funnel. “I’m humbled that a long-time multifamily veteran like Leslie, who understands the multifamily industry deeply, joined the team to share in that mission and the unique way that only Funnel can approach this moment’s toughest challenges of rising consumer expectations and a need for greater business efficiency.”
