East New York Health Hub

Joseph has extensive experience in a number of industries which has built a foundation for the consulting services provided. Mr. Olive graduated from Washington and Lee University (1980) with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Business Administration. Since then, Mr. Olive has worked in the public accounting sector specializing in the construction industry, managed a commercial contracting company, owned a contracting company, performed project management for an intermediate size regional commercial contractor, performed construction loan monitoring of intermediate to large construction projects in the New York City area, and is currently performing construction operations consulting/owner’s representative services in the New York City market.

Nathan Stern is a broadly experienced project manager, particularly in working with affordable housing developers. Since 2010, he has brought in numerous deals to construction closing and completion in the tri-state area totaling over $250 million in hard costs. In the more recent past, he led Olive Branch’s team at East New York Hub, a new community medical facility, helping to bring the project to completion at budget despite numerous design issues immediately after construction close.  He has particular expertise in LIHTC financing, overseeing bids, and negotiating project requirements with private lenders and government agencies. He earned a BA from Vassar College in 2005.

It’s not often you come across a man like Bob Harriman — passionate and hard working with an unmatched level of experience. So when this man joined the Olive Branch Consulting team in 2015, we knew we had someone truly remarkable on board.

The late Bob Harriman was our Senior Field Representative for four years. He was an experienced Site Superintendent with extensive knowledge in construction projects varying in size and complexity. He had a keen understanding of site logistics and the construction process. During his short time with us, Bob grew the business by over 50% and recruited 5 team members, as he helped to advance Olive Branch Consulting’s on-site presence and evaluation. He is greatly missed, but his legacy lives on.
