DES MOINES, Iowa — LCS, a Des Moines-based senior living operator, has promoted Dan Lahey to executive vice president and chief financial and investment officer.
Lahey will direct all financial and real estate operations for the organization and provide leadership for financial planning and analysis, accounting, treasury, tax, community finance, investments, capital markets, and asset and portfolio management for LCS.
Lahey established himself as an industry leader in various roles in the finance and real estate teams since joining LCS in 2008. He joined LCS as an accounting and tax manager on the finance team, and later joined LCS Real Estate at its inception.
Lahey’s elevated role is part of the succession plan in conjunction with the planned retirement of Diane Bridgewater. Bridgewater, who has served as the company’s executive vice president/chief financial and administrative officer since 2006, will remain at LCS until 2025 to complete the transition of her role. Her title has transitioned to executive vice president/chief administrative and strategy officer to reflect this work.
Lahey earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance from Wartburg College and worked as a CPA in public accounting for nine years before joining LCS. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and actively involved with Argentum, ASHA and NIC.
