Starlena S. Thomas
President & Chief Financial Officer
Since day one of cofounding RMT Construction & Development Group with her husband, Warren Thomas, Starlena has been a true champion and advocate for the prosperous financial strength, development, and success of RMT. Starlena understands that hard work, integrity, and grit go a long way in business – especially one that’s in an industry that’s predominantly male. Known to friends, colleagues, and family as ‘Star’, you can be certain that she will ensure RMT’s qualifications are first order. Star is also a licensed Real Estate Agent and has specialized in Affordable Housing, with a background in finance and business management. As CFO, Star is responsible for overseeing the financial operations for the company as well as executing RMT’s financial strategy plan, which is created in collaboration with our CEO and COO. Star oversees the Human Resources Division, payroll activities, accounting, record keeping, and contributes to the focus and direction of RMT.
Over the last 15 years, Star has also worked in various capacities within the real estate, development, and construction industry. She has worked with several low-income housing providers to locate, acquire, and restore blighted properties in the City of Richmond, Henrico County and Chesterfield County. Star is responsible for restoring many of these dilapidated properties, turning them into safe, efficient, and appealing homes, therefore adding value to their communities. Using her credentials to serve a public good makes Star a priceless asset.
People may not get to see her often as she is mostly working behind the scenes, but we all know she’s there – especially when you hear her contagious laugh echoing through the office complex! Providing for her employee’s is also something that Star, along with her husband Warren, are passionate about. Making RMT not only an excellent employer, but a competitive one as well.
