DTTL's O'Brien Speaks On New Global Role

CHICAGO, IL- Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited announced on Thursday that their Chicago-based Vice Chairman Robert O’Brien will also run their global real estate group in addition to remaining U.S. real estate leader. And he tells GlobeSt.com that being a Chicagoan has enormous benefits for anyone assuming such global responsibilities.   

“Chicago has always had one of our [country's] strongest real estate practices,” he said, “and has the respect of real estate industry leaders around the world.” In particular, many world-class REITs, private equity firms and services and investment managers like Jones Lang LaSalle call the city home, and working here has allowed O’Brien to forge long-standing relationships with other professionals around the world.
