Middleburg's Dan Kaseman is bringing his industry knowledge to the Harry F. Byrd, Jr. School of Business as its newest executive in residence.

The Executive-in-Residence program has been in place at Shenandoah since 2005. It started with one executive in residence, William Brandt, co-founder and retired CEO and chairman of American Woodmark Corporation. The executive in residence is meant to be a liaison between the school and the business community who leverages industry connections to assist students. The executive in residence also does guest lectures and serves in an advisory role providing mentorship and career advice to students in the business school. They also work with the business school's leadership team to provide input for new programs.

Kaseman joins Clyde Lamond, who has served as the executive in residence for the Harry F. Byrd Jr. School of Business since fall of 2014; J. Knox Singleton, the newly retired chief executive officer of Inova, who is Shenandoah's health care executive in residence; and David Darsch, a strategic business advisor who is the entrepreneur in residence.

"The Shenandoah students are as bright and driven as any I have encountered," Kaseman said. "It's an honor to work in this high-energy environment. I hope I can give them some real-world experience and help them build confidence."

Kaseman is a resident of Purcellville. He owns Kaseman Capital Partners, a commercial real estate investment firm that owns and operates buildings in Northern Virginia. He is also the managing partner and co-owner of Middleburg Real Estate/Atoka Properties — a residential and commercial real estate brokerage firm serving Northern Virginia and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. He serves on the board of NOVA Parks, which oversees 13,000 acres of parkland in Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun counties and the cities of Alexandria, Falls Church and Fairfax.
