SmartRoof AI Appoints Nick Schanbaum as Head of Business Development, General Counsel

SmartRoof AI, the digitally-native roofing company, announced the appointment of Nick Schanbaum as its head of business development and general counsel. According to a release, his experience in the PropTech industry will play a vital role in driving SmartRoof's growth throughout institutional commercial real estate's various asset classes. 

Schanbaum has worn many hats throughout his years as a startup executive, bringing expertise in sales, HR and strategy functions to his new position. A lawyer since 2007, he also brings 13-plus years of experience as in-house counsel.

"I am incredibly excited to lead the sales charge at SmartRoof and take ownership of our B2B growth," Schanbaum said. "It's a responsibility I embrace wholeheartedly and feel the pressure to deliver outstanding results. Working alongside Nathan and the existing leadership team is a privilege, and I am inspired by their vision and dedication to SmartRoof AI's mission."

SmartRoof AI said Schanbaum has demonstrated his ability to deliver results and drive organizational success. He served as general counsel for the Dallas-based ParkHub Inc., which enjoyed a $100 million exit last spring, for five-plus years. Most recently, he served as chief strategy officer and general counsel for Kairos Water Inc., an Atlanta-based PropTech company with patented leak detection and water metering technology. He also serves on the board of directors at the North Texas Angel Network, actively fostering growth and innovation within the technology startup community.

SmartRoof AI has taken a digitally-native approach to roofing, utilizing drones and artificial intelligence to unlock proprietary roofing data. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, SmartRoof AI aims to drive down costs, enhance the property owner experience, and provide a global roofing platform for marketplace participants. 

"We are delighted to have Nick Schanbaum join us as our head of business development and general counsel," said Nathan Mathews, CEO of SmartRoof AI. "His extensive experience in the PropTech industry, coupled with his proven track record of driving growth and providing legal guidance, makes him a valuable addition to the team. Nick's expertise will play a vital role in accelerating our growth and expanding our market presence."
