TAMPA AND NAPLES, FL – Sept. 27, 2023 – KW PROPERTY MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING, a premier Florida-based association management company, continues to expand its team of talented professionals on Florida’s West Coast. In Tampa, Erin Fabian and Kirstin Stapleton joined KWPMC as Regional Vice President and District Manager, respectively. In Naples, Sheila Diaz was promoted from District Manager to Regional Vice President. 

Fabian brings more than two decades of hospitality and property management experience. Previously based in Miami, she started out by working at luxury hotels while earning her Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Keller Graduate School of Management. Fabian then pivoted to property management, overseeing luxury high-rise residential buildings throughout South Florida before relocating to the Tampa area several years ago. 

At KWPMC, Fabian will apply her expertise in high-end residential properties for the benefit of the company’s West Coast clients. 

Stapleton started her career in association management with Centex Homes and went on to serve in various property management roles spanning multifamily, single-family residential and construction. She was most recently Operations Director at Progress Homes, where she oversaw the Sarasota market. Stapleton is eager to get back to her association management roots and leverage her diverse experience, knowledge and skill set. 

Diaz has more than 25 years of experience in asset management, real estate development, property management, accounting, due diligence and acquisitions. Prior to her time at KWPMC, Diaz provided financial and operational management services for a Florida-based real estate development firm’s $2 billion portfolio and helped build its Oceana brand in the U.S. Earlier in her career, Diaz was a Senior Financial Analyst at Starwood Vacation Ownership, contributing to the development of the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort. 

“Erin and Kirstin are tremendous additions to our Tampa team, while Sheila is a valuable existing member of our Naples team and deserving of her promotion,” said Zuly Maribona, Senior Vice President at KWPMC and leader of the company’s activities on Florida’s West Coast. “We continue to see incredible demand for our services throughout the entire region, so having talented team members like Erin, Kirstin and Sheila is as important as ever.”

The 2021 Inc. 5000 rankings are based on percentage revenue growth when comparing 2017 and 2020. KWPMC will be recognized in the magazine’s September issue.
