Bryan Doyle joined Cushman & Wakefield as chief operating officer for its Americas capital markets practice, as the real estate services firm looks to expand its property investment finance business with an eye toward deploying the latest data technologies.
Doyle is based in San Diego and joined the firm from CBRE, where he worked for nearly 10 years. Most recently, he served as CBRE’s managing director of capital markets and headed the private client program.
The hiring comes as commercial real estate firms are increasingly deploying artificial intelligence and related technologies in their investment and brokerage services. A Cushman & Wakefield statement said Doyle “brings a powerful combination of operational expertise, technology leadership and strategic vision” to his new job.
Doyle’s work at CBRE included serving as an executive sponsor and business lead for the capital markets practice’s technology network, including proprietary tools for market analytics, artificial intelligence and related data services, the Cushman & Wakefield statement said.
“As we continue to grow in scale and complexity, strengthening our operational infrastructure is critical to delivering best-in-class outcomes for our clients,” Miles Treaster, president of Americas capital markets at Cushman & Wakefield, said in the statement.
Doyle cited Cushman’s “commitment to technology and global connectivity” in his decision to take on his new executive job.
Prior to CBRE, Doyle held roles at firms that included Blooma, a provider of AI technology for commercial real estate, where he served on the board. He was also a senior product manager at financial software maker Mitchell International, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Among the world’s largest commercial real estate firms, Chicago-based Cushman & Wakefield operates nearly 400 offices in 60 countries, employing about 52,000.
