LOS ANGELES-Seattle-based Colliers International has added 20-year veteran A. Dwight Hotchkiss as executive managing director of client services. Effective February 1, Hotchkiss will report directly to CEO Dylan Taylor.
Hotchkiss’ top priorities will be to expand existing specialty areas and practice groups, as well as work to launch new service lines. “Colliers International has been focused on expeditious growth that we believe will solidify our position as the best-in-class provider of commercial real estate services,” Taylor says.
“That’s what makes Dwight such a perfect fit for our organization: he has been the catalyst for growth of every business line with which he’s been involved,” Taylor adds. “He also understands the importance of culture to commercial real estate success, and will bring his style of proven leadership to our senior executive team.”
According to Hotchkiss, “Colliers is a new kind of real estate organization with a laser-sharp focus on providing the best client experience in the industry.” He continues that “Colliers’ leadership—globally, regionally and locally—are in perfect sync, enabling employees from any part of the world to pull together in service of their clients, no matter where they are or how big or small their needs may be. Colliers is ideally positioned for continued growth, even while many of our competitors retrench and divest. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be part of that growth and look forward to the challenges that lie ahead.”
Hotchkiss brings to Colliers International more than 20 years’ experience, all with Cushman & Wakefield. GlobeSt.com queries for comment from Cushman & Wakefield regarding Hotchkiss’ departure were not returned by deadline. There, Hotchkiss served as a top-producing industrial broker, head of the Los Angeles downtown branch and a national leader for the US industrial brokerage division.
