Colliers is making changes to the leadership of its global and Americas teams that provide brokerage services for tenants and owners occupying properties.
Andrew Hallissey has been appointed CEO, occupier services global, while Jodie Poirier, who's based in Los Angeles, has been promoted to president of the occupier services group in the Americas. Scott Nelson, currently CEO of occupier services global, has moved into the newly created global role as executive vice-chairman and chief growth officer, occupier services global.
Hallissey, currently executive managing director of occupier services in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, will continue to lead Colliers’ occupier services business in EMEA. He's based in London.
Hallissey said in a statement that he looks forward to "fulfilling our long-term global growth aspirations.” The Toronto-based brokerage has been expanding as it reported last month that revenue rose 6% to $1.1 billion from the prior-year quarter.
The company's results were driven by strong office and industrial leasing and steady growth in nontransaction services such as engineering, consulting and management of properties, projects and investments.
Colliers, the fourth-largest brokerage by revenue, joined rivals CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield in expecting a rise in sales and financing should the Federal Reserve cut interest rates.
Working in partnership with the Atlanta-based Nelson and Colliers’ regional occupier services leaders, Hallissey will focus on "elevating Colliers’ global value proposition for enterprise clients and ensuring strong global leadership as Colliers expands its Occupier Services platform", the listed global brokerage said.
