Rick  J. Caruso

Rick J. Caruso is a renowned business innovator, dedicated civic leader, and actively-involved philanthropist. He is the founder and executive chairman of Caruso®, one of the largest privately-held real estate companies in the United States. Under Caruso’s leadership, the company has achieved a compounded annual growth rate of nearly 20% since its inception. Its world-class portfolio continues to expand and includes some of the most internationally renowned and award-winning retail, residential, mixed-use properties in the world. At the heart of Caruso’s award-winning development approach is a deep respect and understanding of civic responsibility and a fierce loyalty to surrounding communities — the result of decades of hands-on experience in public service. Early in his career, Caruso served as the youngest commissioner in the city’s history when Mayor Tom Bradley appointed him commissioner for the L.A. Department of Water and Power. Caruso’s deeply-held personal philosophy and commitment to giving back have further solidified his philanthropic reputation. In 1991, he and his wife Tina, founded the Caruso Family Foundation, dedicated to supporting organizations that improve the lives of at-risk children in need of healthcare and education. Among the many nonprofit organizations that he supports, Caruso is actively involved with Operation Progress, Para Los Niños, St. Lawrence of Brindisi School, and Verbum Dei High School, all focused on the historically-underserved area of Watts, Los Angeles.
