Investment Sales Team Bolts CBRE for Cushman

NEW YORK CITY-Cushman & Wakefield is getting its own back, literally, as C&W alum Scott R. Latham returns today to his old stomping grounds. Latham and Jon Caplan, both senior vice presidents at CB Richard Ellis, resigned their long-time investment sales posts last night and signed on as senior directors in Cushman’s Metropolitan Financial Services Group.

“My goal is to build an investment sales team at Cushman & Wakefield that is second to none,” C&W president of US operations Bruce Mosler told GlobeSt.com in an exclusive interview last night. “The ability for us to pick up Scott and Jon bodes very well and we’ll continue to build and to grow that department with their help.”

Reports of Latham’s imminent departure after seven years began circulating last week, closely following the news that Cushman power players Darcy A. Stacom and William M. Shanahan would be jumping to CBRE. Latham worked with Stacom at C&W and if industry rumblings are true there is little love lost between the two.
