Prior to joining Simon, he was a senior manager with the international accounting firm of Price Waterhouse.

In addition, Sterrett was named as the number one ranked Chief Financial Officer in the real estate industry for the eight years consecutively from 2007 to 2014 by Institutional Investor Magazine. In 2012 he was inducted into the Academy of Fellows by the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, and in 2013 received the Jeffrey Fisher Real Estate Legacy Award from Indiana University.

In October 2014, Sterrett was elected to the Board of Realty Income (NYSE: O). He is active in several civic organizations, including currently serving on the boards of the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, and the Indiana Golf Association and its Foundation. He also currently serves on the board of the Indiana University Center for Real Estate Studies and the Kelley School of Business Dean’s Council. Sterrett is a former board member of Simon Youth Foundation, Indianapolis Downtown Inc., Crossroads of America Council Boy Scouts of America, Christian Theological Seminary Goodwill Industries Foundation, Catholic Youth Organization, Geist Christian Church, Lawrence Township Schools Foundation, Training Inc., and of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Sterrett holds a BS in accounting and an MBA in finance, both from Indiana University.

“We are very pleased to welcome Steve to our Board of Directors, and look forward to the contributions and insights he will offer as we continue to pursue initiatives in support of our four-point business strategy,” said Jon Rich, Chairman and CEO of Berry Plastics. “At the same time, I extend our sincere appreciation to David for his commitment to Berry Plastics during his tenure.”
