Amy Galvin is taking on a new role at the brokerage she co-founded: chief culture officer. Galvin has been a managing partner at the firm, Luxury Living Chicago, for 14 years.

“This new role and direction honor my passion for personal and professional development for myself and all of the current and future team members at Luxury Living Chicago Realty,” she said of her new position. “It also offers me the opportunity and space to dedicate time to meaningful things outside of LLCR, including raising my family, deepening my marriage and championing women’s equality.”

Galvin, who is a Certified Fair Play Method Facilitator, will focus on setting culture strategy for the LLCR team members. “The pandemic has taught us all a lot about ourselves,” Galvin said. “Being at home with my daughters every day for a year was a gift, and it awakened me to how much I have devoted myself to growing LLCR and what other parts of my life deserve nurturing. The last 14 years have been some of the best and most exhilarating times of my life! However, as I look forward, I know it’s time for me to do things differently.” In the post-pandemic world, she believes that culture will be the key to the company’s future success.

Other LLCR employees will also be shifting roles. Maggie Levinsohn has been promoted from experience manager to people operations manager. Together, she and Galvin will form the company’s emerging Culture Operations Department, which aims to empower and support the LLCR staff. Additionally, Chris Faye, who is currently the director of operations, will be transitioning into the role of managing director.
