The CenterNet Search Group

The CenterNet Search Group is an executive search firm serving the shopping center industry and retail real estate. It was founded in 2011 by Chris Rollbusch, who is its president, and is based in San Diego, California. The company says it is in its 15th year of business.

It places candidates in corporate and executive leadership, regional director, acquisitions and dispositions, asset and financial management, property and general management, facilities and operations, leasing, marketing, business development, project management and development, and construction and tenant coordination roles. It works with employers whose properties include super-regional malls, lifestyle centers, outlets, luxury and specialty retail, mixed-use projects, resort and entertainment destinations, airport concessions, and power and strip centers.

The firm says its recruiters proactively identify and contact candidates directly rather than relying on advertising or social media postings. Rollbusch has worked in the shopping center industry since 1997 and previously held vice president roles at Roberta Rea + Co. and ShopTheJobs.com.
