About Rene Dunnagan
Rene Dunnagan | Business Consultant & Operational StrategistRene Dunnagan is a business consultant and operational strategist with more than two decades of experience strengthening organizations across real estate, finance-adjacent services, and operationally complex environments in California and Colorado.
Her career began in portfolio leadership, where she oversaw residential and mixed-use communities, advised executive boards, managed multi-vendor operations, and led strategic budgeting initiatives. Managing 29 homeowners’ associations across two states gave her deep expertise in governance, maintenance planning, operational coordination, and stakeholder communication.
