McMahon will be dual-hatted, having also been appointed as Senior Vice President of Fickling & Company, Inc., the parent corporation.  He will begin his new roles effective Nov. 30.  
 
McMahon will succeed veteran commercial and investment real estate professional, Richard DeLisle, who will be departing the corporate structure after more than a decade with the company to focus on transactions, but will still be aligned with Fickling & Company.
 
“We are saddened to see Rick go, but we cannot think of anyone better to fill his shoes,” said Fickling.  “Bob is a proven leader. We look forward to commissioning his dynamic leadership style in the real estate business.”
 
In his new role, McMahon will be responsible for all commercial operations within the company to include: Commercial Brokerage, Commercial Management and Leasing, and Multi-Family Management and Leasing.
 
“I am delighted to be joining Roy’s team, and I am excited about being a part of this first-class organization,” said McMahon.
 
McMahon retired from the Air Force in 2012, and most notably, was the final Warner Robins Air Logistics Center Commander at Robins Air Force Base, the largest industrial complex in Georgia.  He successfully transitioned into community leadership upon his retirement as the President and CEO of the 21st Century Partnership, a Georgia 501(c)(3) tasked with advocating for Robins Air Force Base.  Most recently, McMahon served as the Director of C-17 Field Operations and GISP program lead for Boeing. Additionally, he serves on the Board of Directors at State Bank Financial Corp. and State Bank & Trust Co. (Macon, Georgia).
