Westfield brings in new leadership at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda


Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, the owner of Westfield Montgomery Mall, has replaced several key leaders at the property just before the busiest shopping time of the year. Jason Dyer has been hired as the mall's Senior General Manager, Catherine Brady has been named the new Marketing Director, and Montgomery County Public Schools veteran Joe Damaia will be the new Facilities Director for the sprawling property. Dyer and Brady have successful track records at other Westfield malls, and Damaia was at MCPS for over 14 years of his more than three decades in mechanical and facilities operations.


Dyer's career has found him working with major brands like Victorinox, Sears, PAPYRUS, and GAP, in national and international markets, before joining URW in 2017, taking on management roles at Westfield malls on both coasts. He is bringing this experience to Montgomery Mall with the key goal of "delivering memorable customer experiences that foster loyalty and repeat engagement," URW said in a statement.


“I’m excited to collaborate with Catherine and Joe as we work to elevate Montgomery’s premier retail, dining and entertainment destination,” Dyer said in a statement. “With our varied expertise and established success in the industry, we’re well-positioned to continue shaping Westfield Montgomery into a vibrant hub for dining, retail, and cultural life in Montgomery County.”

Robert, in the interest of full disclosure, is Jason Dyer a relative of yours?

Maybe they'll finally get all of the escalators working.

Jason Dyer--any relation?

Cinco, that most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. You literally cannot get to where you want to go. Recently, I was forced to ask security how to get upstairs. The only working escalators was in the far corner by the kids indoor play area. You cannot operate a major mall this way. See how long Tyson's customers would tolerate this.
