Discovery Senior Living Appoints Chief Financial Officer
Seasoned Private Equity and Public Company Finance Executive Joins as Discovery Enters Cycle of Senior Housing Growth
Bonita Springs, FL – February 2, 2026 — Discovery Senior Living (“Discovery” or the “Company”) and its affiliated subsidiaries, one of the most trusted and the largest privately held senior housing operators in the U.S., is pleased to announce that Kim Voss will join the Company as Chief Financial Officer, effective February 1, 2026. Voss brings more than two decades of experience leading finance organizations at scale across public company and private equity-owned environments. She joins Discovery at a pivotal time as the Company builds on a period of significant growth turning its focus on performance optimization as the industry enters the next phase of senior housing growth.
Voss most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of American Campus Communities, the nation’s largest owner, developer, and manager of student housing communities. She was part of the executive leadership team that helped scale the company from a $300 million IPO to a $13 billion valuation and later led the finance organization through its transition to private ownership following its acquisition by Blackstone.
Voss is widely recognized for her leadership in real estate finance and capital markets. She was named a 2024 Globe St. Women of Influence honoree and a finalist for the Austin Business Journal Best CFO Award in the Extra-Large Company category. Throughout her career, she has overseen billions of dollars in acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, and capital markets transactions.
“Kim is an exceptional addition to Discovery’s leadership team, bringing a proven track record guiding multi-billion-dollar platforms through both public and private ownership,” said Richard Hutchinson, Chief Executive Officer, Discovery Senior Living. “2025 was a year of building, expanding our scale, deepening relationships with capital providers and ownership groups, and strengthening our platform. As we look ahead to 2026, our focus turns to optimizing our systems, processes, and decision-making to support sustained performance at scale. Kim’s institutional expertise complements these priorities and the strong foundation in place as Discovery is positioned as the leading operator through this next chapter.”
At Discovery, Voss will oversee all aspects of finance, accounting and treasury functions for the Company and be directly involved in the development and execution of the organization’s strategic plans. She will partner closely with operational and technology leadership to enhance financial visibility, scalability, and insight across the Company, supporting both frontline decision-making and engagement with capital ownership groups.
“I’m honored to join Discovery at such a meaningful point in its growth journey,” said Kim Voss, Chief Financial Officer, Discovery Senior Living. “Discovery stands at a rare intersection with scale, momentum, and a clear operator-first focus at a time when the seniors housing industry needs experienced, sophisticated operators more than ever. The Company has built a reputable and differentiated platform, and I’m excited to partner with the team to advance the operating model, execution excellence, and disciplined performance as we continue to scale.”
Voss added that Discovery’s position within the industry was a defining factor in her decision to join the Company.
“Discovery has clearly established itself as the operator of choice for many of the most sophisticated owners in senior housing,” she said. “That leadership position, combined with the Company’s culture, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to excellence, is what drew me here. I’m excited to help build on that foundation and support Discovery’s entire team and Board as we continue to set the standard for what best-in-class senior housing operations look like at scale.”
Discovery also emphasized continuity within its finance leadership as the Company expands its bench. Tom Costello, Discovery’s prior CFO, will be staying with the Company in a new role focused on several planned strategic performance and growth initiatives in 2026 and beyond.
“Tom Costello has played a critical role in Discovery’s founding and growth, and in building a strong finance organization and will be working on seamlessly transitioning the more traditional CFO duties to Kim,” added Richard. “Tom will be using his decades of experience with Discovery in an exciting new C-Suite role that will focus on using our world class data and analytics to create more actionable plans for our management companies, support services and complimentary businesses to “drive” further differentiated performance.
Voss’s appointment comes amid strengthening fundamentals across the seniors housing sector, reinforcing demand for operators that can utilize the benefits of scale to perform consistently, create significant margin expansion, deliver a world class business process and create unmatched customer experience.
