Angela Cain

The Urban Land Institute has announced the appointment of Angela Cain as its global chief executive officer, effective September 3, 2024. Cain brings more than 25 years of global non-profit and leadership experience in the corporate real estate sector.

Angela Cain most recently served as CEO of CoreNet Global, a professional association for corporate real estate executives, where she led the transformation of its strategic direction, mission, vision, culture, and value proposition through organizational and operational changes that enhanced growth and impact. Before joining CoreNet Global, Cain served as CEO of a state branch of the National Association of Realtors and as vice president of Global Events for Nacore International.

The decision by ULI’s Global Board of Directors to appoint Cain as global CEO came after a comprehensive, worldwide search process led by a committee of ULI members. Korn Ferry, a global organizational consulting firm, advised on the search. The committee meticulously reviewed an extensive and diverse list of candidates, ensuring Cain was the ideal choice to lead ULI into the future. Cain will work closely with the Global Board and with ULI’s co-interim managing directors Leo Gonzalez and Mary Beth Corrigan to ensure a smooth transition.
