After graduating from the Wharton School with a BS in Economics, he went on to receive an MBA degree from IMD in Lausanne, Switzerland. At first Mr. Shasha worked with his father in the family company in the textile industry. Then he went into commercial real estate, focusing on shopping centers and industrial buildings. Currently he is CEO and President of The Cotswold Group, which he founded in 1983 and which owns and manages major commercial real estate holdings in eight states, from the East to the Midwest.
Mr. Shasha is a proud father of three children, Jordan, David, and Caroline.
