NEW YORK CITY-Mark Jaccom has been promoted to co-chairman of the New York Tri-State Region at Colliers International. Colliers CEO Dylan Taylor tells GlobeSt.com it’s an opportunity to have Jaccom focus on deal making in the New York market. Meanwhile, Michael T. Cohen, president of the Colliers International Tri-State Region, is returning to a full schedule at the firm after a leave of absence.

“We’re certainly getting some traction in New York,” Taylor tells GlobeSt.com, adding that the firm has hired some 50 people in the Tri-State area in the last 12 months. “In that environment we need our best producers and sales people focusing on that type of activity.”

Jaccom had been CEO of the New York Tri-State Region at Colliers International and always had a hand in deal making at the firm, but was unable to give his undivided attention to it due to other responsibilities.
