Franklin Street hires COO

Franklin Street, the Tampa commercial real estate services firm that has grown from a startup a decade ago to six offices throughout Florida and Georgia, has added to its executive ranks.

E. Tyler Cathey joins Franklin Street as its chief operating officer and general counsel after nearly three years in the Florida Attorney General's Office.

There, Cathey was chief deputy and chief of staff for Attorney General Pam Bondi, whose run for the office he helped guide. In that role, Cathey oversaw more than 500 lawyers and 800 other employees and 11 offices statewide, and was a key adviser on both legal and administrative affairs.
