As Director of the US Sales Recruiting team, I was passionate about helping Colliers recruit, retain, and develop the industry's top brokerage talent. I believe that the strength, stability, and creativity of any company depends on the quality of its people, and I took pride in my ability to build strong relationships that had a direct impact on our success as an organization. I worked collaboratively with our executive leadership team to identify, source, and approach experienced brokers to fill strategic roles in markets across the country. My "superpower" has always been building a deep connection with people, learning about their aspirations, and connecting them with the right opportunity to achieve their goals. Whether I was helping someone to take the next step in their career, making a connection through my network, or guiding a recent graduate hoping to break into our industry - the most rewarding part of my role was being of service to people every day.
