RE: AI Strategy and Enablement Summer Intern - APR 2026 | Starwood Capital Group

Dear Starwood Capital Office of the COO & Team,

Passionate about building the real estate of the future, I believe there’s no more critical time at the intersection of tech and real estate investment than today. I’ve spearheaded transformation, managing complexities and stakeholders across internal business lines and with external clients, first in big tech and more recently AI technology tools specifically for real estate investment landscape. In joining Starwood’s initiatives, I would apply my skillsets in strategic execution, relationship management, and programmatic implementation to drive innovation for sustained & scaled returns at the end of the day.

Would you be willing to connect to explore adding value to the Starwood Capital team this summer?

Below you’ll find a chart on the edge I hope to bring to Starwood to meet expectations and beyond, in addition to my RESUME.

I have implemented new AI tools across 4 offices, driven efficiency gains for cross-functional work streams on 5 successful consultative projects, and have generated stakeholder buy-in from the C-Suite to peers — all while decreasing costs and increasing effectiveness. Now, I’d like to contribute to driving AI-enabled strategic transformation & impact at Starwood.

Thanks for your consideration,

Abigail | +1 510-461-2268 | abchen27@gsb.columbia.edu
