Leading global professional services and investment management firm
Colliers (NASDAQ and TSX: CIGI) today announced the appointment of
Chris McLernon as Chief Executive Officer of Real Estate Services|
Global. McLernon will be based in the firm’s global headquarters in
Toronto, reporting to Global Chairman & CEO Jay Hennick. Davoud
Amel-Azizpour, currently Chief Financial Officer of EMEA, will
succeed McLernon as CEO of the EMEA region. Both appointments,
which are effective July 1, 2022, reinforce Colliers’ continued
leadership in the industry and commitment to accelerate the success
of its people and clients.
McLernon will focus on overall growth, operational excellence,
and client relationships within Colliers’ rapidly growing real
estate services operations. He will have direct oversight of
Colliers’ Capital Markets, Leasing and Outsourcing & Advisory
businesses globally, with emphasis on accelerating growth,
enhancing global collaboration, and strengthening our unique
culture and way of doing business.
McLernon brings a wealth of experience growing Colliers’
businesses and has played an important role in building the
Colliers brand into the leading global player it is today. Since
joining the company in 1987, his enterprising spirit earned him
increasingly senior positions culminating in his role of CEO of
EMEA.
“Chris’ appointment reflects the success of his longstanding
career with Colliers. Over the past 12 years as EMEA’s leader,
Chris was instrumental in growing the region from $30 million to
over $700 million in revenues while delivering exceptional client
results, creating a great culture for our professionals, and
driving operational excellence. With Chris’ experience, commitment,
and track record as a leader, we are even better positioned to
achieve our ambitious 2025 growth plan,” said Hennick.
Amel-Azizpour has extensive real estate experience, having
worked closely with McLernon over the past nine years at Colliers,
most recently as the CFO of EMEA. Amel-Azizpour is a trusted
partner within the broader regional leadership team, with both the
intimate knowledge of EMEA’s operations and strategic vision to
advance Colliers’ position.
“Dav’s well-established reputation, deep understanding of our
EMEA business, and his embodiment of Colliers’ unique culture makes
him a natural fit to succeed Chris. I am confident he will excel in
his new role and continue to drive growth and profitability
throughout our EMEA business during this dynamic time,” continued
Hennick. “Chris and Dav are both strategic, results-oriented
leaders whose contributions to Colliers over many years make them
ideal candidates to fulfill their new roles. I am extremely proud
of both and excited to watch as they continue enhance the scale and
reputation of our company in the years to come,” he
concluded.
