NEW YORK CITY—Weeks into a retirement that had several of his former coworkers placing bets on how few months would elapse before he went back to work again, veteran brokerage head Jim Dieter has joined Cushman & Wakefield to lead its Americas industrial practice. Dieter, who will be based in Chicago, tells GlobeSt.com that he intends to make sure his team leverages the entire C&W platform.

“When a company hires a team at a company like Cushman & Wakefield, it’s because they trust the local team, and also because they have expectations that the brokers will bring in all of the resources of the company as a whole to execute the assignment,” says the 35-year brokerage veteran. “Brokers get in my doghouse when they don’t walk, talk, act and execute like a global broker.”

Dieter says his first several months at C&W will be spent visiting local markets, “meeting the brokerage teams, finding out their wants and needs, making sure they do what it takes to succeed in an unstable market. I’ll also be meeting with clients. In my 35-plus years, I’ve been very fortunate to develop strong relationship with some of the top industrial REITs and developers all over the country. I’ll hear it from them on how we’ve serviced them and what some of their wants and needs are.”
