Gary Liebergen, C.P.A., Chief Financial Officer
Gary Liebergen, C.P.A., Chief Financial Officer, got his first taste of the hospitality industry when he left public accounting in 1985 to join a company that was in the process of acquiring 15 limited-service properties to supplement its four-hotel portfolio. Over the next 15 years, Gary helped lead the Sunway Hotel Group through its acquisition and management of more than 50 hotels in over 10 states.
When the lodging industry transitioned in the late 1980s, Sunway served as a court-appointed receiver for nearly a dozen hotels, with Gary serving as the primary contact for court-required financial reporting. All of these experiences have added to Gary's deep experience in working with owners, lenders and franchise organizations.
Gary spent the first 12 years after college in the audit practice of a national public accounting firm. He worked with both public and private companies, primarily in the service sector. He was extensively involved with debt and equity financings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Gary serves as the Chief Financial Officer for True North. His primarily responsibilities are in the financial reporting to property owners and the budgeting process. He also works extensively in the risk management area and any debt or other financing needs within True North. Gary's added experience as a licensed securities representative and life and health insurance agent contribute significantly to his current position.
