KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. — The Kendal Corp., one of the largest nonprofit seniors housing operators in the United States, has hired Colleen Ryan Mallon as the company’s chief marketing officer.
Mallon will lead the organization’s marketing and communications team and develop marketing, sales, communication and public relation programs.
Mallon joins Kendal after 13 years leading the marketing and sales operations at Goodwin House, another nonprofit operator. Under her leadership, a Goodwin House location successfully filled a new 106-unit new tower as part of a $143 million expansion. Her most recent position with the company was vice president of marketing and mission expansion.
Mallon earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology/gerontology, with additional concentrations in women’s studies and biomedical ethics, from Trinity College in Washington, D.C. She also has done master’s level coursework in long-term care administration at the State University of New York in Utica. She has been licensed as a nursing home administrator in Virginia since 1995.
Mallon succeeds Bill Silbert, who served Kendal 15 years as director for marketing and communications before retiring in June.
