Ambassador Brewster served as an officer and senior executive at General Growth Properties where he led all investor relations, marketing and branding efforts of the second largest shopping center REIT in the world. In his role he became recognized as one of the country's top experts in the areas of brand optimization, retail crisis management and increasing shareholder value.

Ambassador Brewster has received numerous recognitions and awards for his work including the highest honor given by the Dominican Republic, the Duarte Medal of Freedom.
