About

Dave Floyd is the Managing Partner of Springbok Search. His vision is to build a recruiting platform where clients and candidates can rely on his professional experience in both commercial real estate and recruiting. His career, unique in its breadth and depth in both disciplines, provides an unparalleled ability to make the best match between candidate and company. “Our job is to find the candidates our clients want to meet, not to produce candidate volume.”

Prior to starting Springbok, Dave was a Managing Director at Long Ridge Partners where he was a key driver of the growth of their real estate recruiting business. His real estate knowledge was consistently cited as a differentiating factor in the successful execution of his searches. His understanding of the character and experience of his candidates are critical determinants that inform his analysis and recommendations.

Dave’s interest in real estate came from his father, who oversaw major construction projects in the DC area. Not wanting to follow the civil engineering path of his father, Dave pursued a career in real estate investing and operations instead. His experience in acquisitions, originations, asset management shaped Dave’s understanding of the real estate investment industry prior to his transition to real estate recruiting in 2013. Dave lives in Connecticut with his wife as his sons are making their careers in Brooklyn and Philadelphia.
