Team

The people behind the platform.

Ocean Ridge was founded by and for operators. A small team that has built companies, run properties, and placed capital next to yours.

Leadership

Operators first. Allocators second.

Everyone here has built or run something real. That is why our diligence is sharper and our money goes in next to yours.

Morgan Keim

Founder & Managing Partner

Morgan found real estate in 2014 through a single LP deal, while he was busy helping build and raise capital for startups. Within 18 months of going all-in on real estate, he had raised a fund, acquired 20 properties, and left the startup world behind.

He built Ocean Ridge on three values: integrity, urgency, and service. The goal was never just returns. It was freedom, for himself and for the founders he serves.

Anthony Tabanji

Head of Operations

Anthony is the son of Lebanese immigrants and a small business family in Cleveland. That is where he learned work ethic and resourcefulness.

He has launched and scaled ventures across hospitality, consulting, and short-term rental management. He turned Ocean Ridge's first Cleveland fund into a tight operation built on discipline, integrity, and impact.

Yannick Ngongo

Head of Underwriting & Outreach

Yannick closed his first seven-figure real estate deal at 22, just months after getting his work permit.

He leads underwriting and outreach. He scores every opportunity against the firm's standards and builds the relationships that bring disciplined founders into the fold.

Teresa Keim

Head of Marketing

Teresa cut her teeth at Bain and in commercial real estate, where she learned to lead with clarity and calm under pressure.

She is a strategist and a creative who has built her own brands. She leads marketing at Ocean Ridge, pairing data with instinct and strategy with empathy.
