Leadership
01 / Co-Founder and CEO, UpManagement
Alexandra Pohl is the Co-Founder and CEO of UpManagement, an infrastructure, real assets and specialty capital company. UpManagement is the parent of seven companies: Keystone (data centers), Blueprint (real estate software), Hearth (senior living and medical facilities), Span (telecom infrastructure), Bastion (defense and national security), Crucible (life sciences capital) and Guild (education and workforce). Alexandra leads it on the conviction that mission-critical infrastructure rewards operators who plan for decades and run for uptime.
Raised in a real estate family, Alexandra built early mastery in capital strategy and asset performance. She earned dual undergraduate degrees in Business Management and Exercise Science, competing as a Hall of Fame dual-sport NAIA D1 athlete, then deepened her competitive discipline through martial arts and an MBA in Global Business Management. In the private sector, she spent seven-plus years at Toyota and Danfoss applying lean and TPS methodologies to complex multi-site operations: at Toyota she compressed project timelines and eliminated workflow waste; at Danfoss she standardized KPIs and tightened variance-to-budget across international programs. She then spent eight-plus years in senior U.S. federal leadership on regulatory and infrastructure matters, and has personally directed $300 million or more in development and capital programs. At UpManagement, her federal infrastructure and regulatory experience is a direct fit for data centers, telecom, senior living and defense.
UpManagement keeps its own name, brand and program, works from its offices in Fort Lauderdale, Laurel, MD, Raleigh, Oklahoma City and Phoenix, and shares one platform for finance, compliance, legal, technology and operations. At UpManagement, Alexandra Pohl is Co-Founder and CEO and William Pohl III is Co-Founder and COO; Alexandra chairs its investment committee and William is Co-Chair. Where there is a fit, and under the platform’s conflicts policy, UpManagement can work alongside ERTH Volta on power, Cotra on housing and PitcHouse on real estate software.
Alexandra is building UpManagement’s seven companies on one shared-services platform and one reporting standard: uptime, occupancy, safety, margin and capital spend against plan, reviewed monthly. Regulated businesses, from senior living licenses to defense security requirements, carry their compliance plan from the start.
Alexandra’s profit-with-purpose ethos holds that well-run businesses create value for the people they serve, the teams that run them and the capital partners who back them – simultaneously. Outside the boardroom, she channels that ethos through her lifelong passion for animal rescue, supporting shelters and rescue organizations because she believes leadership is measured not only by returns but by the lives improved along the way.
Alexandra co-founded UpManagement and built it on a single operating spine – standardized diligence, one reporting standard and shared services – so what is learned in one company sharpens the next.
Alexandra puts uptime and safety first in every infrastructure plan, because the people who rely on it cannot afford a bad day.
Her rule: report to investors the way you report an operating asset – same metrics, same cadence, same candor. Expectations are written down before capital is committed, and no one is surprised at the board table.
The businesses UpManagement is building will house, power, connect and care for people. Running them well means safer buildings, more reliable service and stronger communities.
Alexandra brings a global lens on markets and capital, then executes locally through hands-on partnership with every team.
“Infrastructure rewards the operators who plan for decades and run for uptime.”

“Seven companies, one platform, one set of numbers.”

“We run on the same numbers, reviewed the same week, every month. No one is surprised at the board table.”

02 / Co-Founder and COO, UpManagement
William Pohl III is the Co-Founder and COO of UpManagement, an infrastructure, real assets and specialty capital company. UpManagement is the parent of seven companies spanning data centers, real estate software, senior living and medical facilities, telecom infrastructure, defense, life sciences capital and workforce education. William owns the operating side: building and integrating the seven companies, their sites and their shared services.
William grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, watching his father build one business after another: a CPA firm, real estate companies, a roofing company and a collector car dealership. His father gave him one rule he still runs on – never quitting gives you an advantage over 99% of the people. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from American Public University.
UpManagement keeps its own name, brand and program, works from its offices in Fort Lauderdale, Laurel, MD, Raleigh, Oklahoma City and Phoenix, and shares one platform for finance, compliance, legal, technology and operations. At UpManagement, Alexandra Pohl is Co-Founder and CEO and William Pohl III is Co-Founder and COO; Alexandra chairs its investment committee and William is Co-Chair. Where there is a fit, and under the platform’s conflicts policy, UpManagement can work alongside ERTH Volta on power, Cotra on housing and PitcHouse on real estate software.
William will lead UpManagement’s builds from the site up: power, permits, equipment and schedule. He knows that projects rarely die on the plan – they die on the power, the equipment and the buyer who won’t go first – and he spends his time exactly there. Teams stay lean, senior and accountable.
William’s advice to every team he leads is his father’s: don’t quit. Outside the office, he rescues dogs – Cookie, Willow, Bleu and Ghost – and supports animal rescue, grows exotic fruit trees that have no business surviving an Ohio winter, and builds AI systems and websites late at night.
William takes ownership of whatever the work needs, from the first site walk to the last line of the budget.
At UpManagement, William builds what people rely on – on schedule, on budget and built to last.
He backs people before plans. A strong plan in the wrong hands stalls; the right team finds a way. He looks for hustle, grit and honesty, and he gives the same back.
“Projects rarely die on the plan. They die on the power and the equipment. That is where we show up.”
William Pohl III
“Build it to last, then run it like someone depends on it, because someone does.”

“Never quitting gives you an advantage over 99% of the people. My father taught me that, and it is how I run every company I lead.”

03 / Head of Investor Relations, UpManagement
Infrastructure leaves little room for loose ends, and neither does intelligence work. Suebina Wong is a veteran of both the U.S. Army and the wider Intelligence Community: twelve years in all, six on active duty. As a Senior SIGINT Geospatial Analyst she led a mission team whose work fed Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn in Iraq and Operation Enduring Freedom and the Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan. She later built the skills of over 1,000 intelligence professionals throughout the federal government, a background that carries real weight in UpManagement’s defense and federal work.
Today she is Head of Investor Relations for UpManagement, the infrastructure and real assets group behind seven companies: Keystone in data centers, Blueprint in real estate software, Hearth in senior living, Span in telecom, Bastion in defense, Crucible in life sciences capital, and Guild in workforce education. Working with Alexandra Pohl, Co-Founder and CEO, she leads the group’s relationships with investors and partners and the reporting that shows how each company is doing against plan.
Between those two chapters, Suebina built a real estate career that kept her on national top-agent rankings for five years running. Her work centered on acquisitions, breaking into new markets, and repositioning assets in high-pressure cities, experience that applies directly to a group built to buy, build, and operate the facilities people depend on.
She connects investors with UpManagement’s leadership and the leaders of all seven companies, so every investor gets one clear, accurate picture of the group.

04 / Principal, Investments, UpManagement
Few investment leaders in infrastructure and real assets have worked inside a biotechnology manufacturing operation. Joe Tobin, Principal, Investments at UpManagement, spent ten years there. UpManagement is the group behind seven companies: Keystone in data centers, Blueprint in real estate software, Hearth in senior living, Span in telecom, Bastion in defense, Crucible in life sciences capital, and Guild in workforce education.
Joe works with William Pohl III, Co-Founder and COO, and Alexandra Pohl, Co-Founder and CEO. He sources and evaluates investments for each company, with the sector research, market data, and return models behind them, and his laboratory background lets Crucible evaluate life sciences opportunities from the bench up.
As a biotechnology subject matter expert in gene and cell therapy protein purification, Joe rose to lead manufacturer and department supervisor. He set priorities, built his team’s skills, and guided technical decisions with data, and his department oversaw the development and distribution of more than 20 drug molecules for patients in critical condition. Clients came to rely on his clear, candid explanations of complex science. Over the past 12 years he has also produced and directed live sports entertainment events across the country and in international markets.
Joe is a 2015 graduate of Towson University, where he earned a biochemistry degree with honors. He is a dedicated bodybuilder and enjoys paddleboarding and creating epoxy resin art.
