Milesbrand is proud to announce the promotion of Genevieve Benson to Senior Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, recognizing her expanded leadership and the meaningful impact she has made on the agency’s growth, external relationships and market presence within the new home industry.
With more than 12 years of experience in the residential real estate industry, including eight-and-a-half years at Milesbrand, Benson has built her career around creating trust and strategic alignment that drives long-term growth for the organizations she serves. As the driving force behind Milesbrand’s partnership strategy, she has developed and cultivated high-impact relationships with developers of large-scale master-planned communities and privately held home builders across the country, connecting home builders and developers whose vision and commitment to differentiation make them the right fit for the kind of long-term partnership Milesbrand does best.
Her work goes well beyond business development. Benson partners with leadership teams to align brand strategy with business objectives, helping communities and companies define their identity before they reach the market. She brings a particular focus to early-stage development, where strategic positioning has the greatest influence on long-term performance and buyer demand.
In 2024, Benson was named to Pro Builder’s Forty Under 40, a distinction recognizing 40 leaders under 40 for their energy, talent, innovation and career achievement. Selected from a pool of more than 140 candidates through a rigorous, two-stage process guided by past honorees, the program highlights the professionals shaping the future of homebuilding and real estate development. Benson’s selection recognized her leadership, influence and vision for what great community development can look like.
“Genevieve is always striving for growth,” said Kelly Fink, Chief Operating Officer at Milesbrand. “She consistently looks for ways to elevate our internal team, strengthen our external partnerships and most importantly, align Milesbrand with the developers and home builders in our space who are committed to creating truly great places for people to live. Her promotion to SVP reflects everything she brings to this company every day.”
In her expanded role as Senior Vice President, Benson will continue to lead Milesbrand’s business development and strategic partnership work while taking on greater responsibility for shaping the agency’s growth strategy and ensuring alignment between the right clients and the right opportunities. Her focus remains on real estate developers and home builders whose vision, scale and commitment to differentiation make them ideal candidates for the kind of long-term partnership Milesbrand does best.
"Genevieve consistently identifies best in class strategic partners and connects them to our clients, creating real value beyond the work we deliver ourselves, and she uncovers and cultivates the long-term client relationships that drive meaningful growth for Milesbrand. Her expanding presence across the industry strengthens both," said Dave Miles, President and Brand Strategist of Milesbrand. "This promotion reflects both her contributions to date and the important role she will continue to play in our future."
Benson is equally committed to the broader industry she serves. She serves on the National Home Trends Institute Master Planned Community Council, contributing to national conversations around innovation, consumer behavior and the future of community development. She sits on the Advisory Board for Professional Women in Building of Metro Denver and volunteers as a mentor through the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver, investing in the next generation of industry leaders.
A sought-after speaker at local and national conferences, Benson brings the same depth and conviction to the stage that she brings to every partnership she builds. Her perspective was shaped in part by her early work with Downtown Colorado Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to community revitalization and the creation of vibrant, inclusive public spaces, and that foundation continues to inform everything she does at Milesbrand.
Based in Denver with her husband and two daughters, Benson remains guided by a straightforward belief: the most meaningful communities are built with intention, courage and a commitment to creating places where people truly belong.
