Prior to joining CBRE, she held leadership roles with Cushman & Wakefield and its Alliance predecessor, Grant Street Associates, Inc., where she supported brokerage and property management services through periods of growth and organizational change. Across each role, she gained invaluable knowledge by engaging with prospects and clients, building communications and marketing strategies, and aligning real estate solutions with broader business objectives.

Whether leading change initiatives, developing training programs, or mentoring junior staff, Hartman focuses on empowering others to take ownership and accountability in their own growth and success.
