Mr. Connelly, a 15-year veteran of CBRE, will lead a sector-leading business encompassing more than 18,000 employees across the Capital Markets, Advisory & Transaction Services, Advisory Project Management, Property Management and Valuations business lines in the United States, Canada and Latin America. He has held numerous leadership roles at CBRE, most recently serving as Global President, Property Management. Previously, he served as President of the Americas Mountain-Northwest Division, President of the Midwest Division, and Executive Managing Director of the Chicago Region.

“Chris has successfully managed the full spectrum of our Advisory Services offering and our business has thrived under his leadership. He will help us take our Americas Advisory Services business to the next level of success,” said Mike Lafitte, Global CEO, Advisory Services.

These attributes will serve her well in innovating, differentiating and driving our Property Management business in the Americas and across the globe.”
