Barrack, Thomas — Colony Capital Inc
Executive Chairman
Colony Capital Inc.
THE LATEST: Barrack's firm last year took steps to transform itself into a digital real estate company by investing in data centers and communication towers. In a bid to generate capital to fund the shift, Colony Capital shed its $5.7 billion industrial investment portfolio in the fall of 2019.
BACKGROUND: Barrack formed Colony Capital three years ago by merging his original Colony Capital firm, which was founded in 1991, with Northstar Asset Management Group Inc. and NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. Previously, Barrack served as a principal with the Robert M. Bass Group, the personal investment vehicle of Texas billionaire Robert Bass. Barrack served in President Ronald Reagan's administration as deputy undersecretary at the Interior Department. In 2010, French President Nicolas Sarkozy knighted Barrack as a Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur. Barrack was a senior adviser to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and part of Trump's inaugural committee. He serves on the board of First Republic Bank.
