Working Wardrobes, a leading nonprofit organization that helps individuals overcome barriers to gainful employment, has added seven stellar community leaders to its esteemed board of directors, including John Murray, who leads Newport Beach-based PIMCO’s global private commercial real estate team as a managing director and portfolio manager in its Newport Beach office.
Murray is a U.S. Army Veteran with over two decades of investment and commercial real estate experience and holds degrees from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, MIT and Lehigh University.
