Tim Slaughter
Tim Slaughter is the CEO of Caddo Office Reimagined, a growing network of neighborhood office spaces with nine locations—and counting—across the Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs. A proud graduate of Texas A&M (’98, BS in Industrial Distribution) and the McCombs School of Business at UT Austin (MBA, ’04), Tim co-founded Caddo Holdings in 2009 alongside Dustin Schilling and Justin Engler.
Over the past 20+ years, Tim has built a diverse career in commercial real estate, spanning finance, development, asset management, and property management. When he's not focused on office space, Tim is usually found working on challenging—but not dangerous—home improvement projects, often with a power tool in one hand and a YouTube tutorial paused in the other. He and his wife of 25 years are proud empty nesters with two grown children.
