Since March 2014, Mr. Koch has served as a director of international hotel manager and franchisor Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH). He also is a co-founder, and from 2008 to 2017 was a director, of Ten-X.com, an online marketplace for residential and commercial real estate. From 2016 to 2020, Mr. Koch served as a partner of merchant bank BDT & MSD Partners (f/k/a BDT & Company). Mr. Koch also had a long career in investment banking, including roles at Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., the U.S. investment banking and securities arm of Deutsche Bank, where he served as Global Head of Real Estate Investment Banking and Chairman of Mergers & Acquisitions for the Americas from 1999 to 2007. From 2005 until 2023, Mr. Koch served as a board member of the National Business Aviation Association, a Washington, D.C.-based trade association serving the business aviation community, where he continues to serve as chair emeritus. Mr. Koch is rated as an air transport pilot with more than 5,000 hours of flight time, is type-rated in various aircraft and holds helicopter and seaplane ratings. Mr. Koch graduated from The College of William & Mary with a Bachelor of Business Administration.
