With the world constantly changing, how has your job, or client’s job, evolved over the past 10 years?
In today’s world, the structure, content, and process of work have changed. i.e.; it is more team-based and collaborative; dependent on social skills; dependent on technological competence, and a lot more time pressured.
Tell us about your story. How did you come to Cushman & Wakefield? What do you do?
It’s been very interesting for me. I have experienced 5 mergers since I started my first job in commercial real estate on July 6, 1993. I started to work for KTR (Koeppel, Tener, Riguardi), Colliers ABR, to Cassidy Turley, DTZ and now C&W. I can honestly say that with each company, I’ve learned that there is always more opportunity and knowledge to gain. Cushman & Wakefield is a very professionally-evolved company.
Why do you work here at Cushman & Wakefield and not somewhere else?
The firm believes in developing and supporting the talents of their women team members through WIN, Women’s Integrated Network, which offers Mentoring and Professional Development, Career Development, Events and Industry Partnerships and Recognition. C&W offers their employees an opportunity to Learn and grow by offering Online Webinar courses. They believe in the word LAUNCH – LEARN, ASSIMILATE, UNDERSTAND, NURTURE, COLLABORATE, HELP OTHERS and that is important to me.
Cushman & Wakefield has one of the most interesting growth stories in our industry. How has our recent momentum made an impact on your role or created opportunities for you?
I can honestly say that we’ve had a great momentum and it’s definitely a plus to work with a strong company. I have had a few friends who either worked here or in the industry, and they’ve always raved about the atmosphere of professionalism. Cushman and Wakefield is a place that continually demands excellence while still allowing a healthy and positive work environment.
With the breadth of services we have now, how are you able to do more today for your clients?
It is always important for me to stay current with the market and have knowledge about the company and the overall industry. My team uses all of the company’s services and expertise to present to their prospective clients.
What solution, achievement, or moment is the best example of your passion while either working at Cushman & Wakefield or in your personal life, or both?
My dedication to my family has helped me to maintain a conscious balance of work life and personal life. I’m a “go with the flow” employee. I welcome constructive criticism and any opportunity to learn and grow.
