SAN FRANCISCO—“Women in the commercial real estate world tend to be innovative thinkers and are willing and ready to work harder and smarter to prove themselves.” That is according to Real Estate Forum Hall of Fame candidate Jeanne Myerson, president and CEO of the Swig Co.
“Women also bring the strengths of collaboration, flexibility and a 'get-things-done' attitude to the business—all important contributions,” she exclusively tells Forum. “More women are joining the business and changing the tenor of business dealings for the better. I see greater numbers of women in the construction world, in brokerage and in transactions positions—these changes represent the beginning of a breakthrough.”
The locally based office focused Myerson has been in the business for 31 years. Her 17-year tenure as president and CEO of the firm makes her one of the longest serving, successful women CEOs in the commercial real estate industry, according to industry sources. In addition, Myerson's 12-year tenure on a NYSE-company board of directors and recent appointment to The Berkshire Group's new board of directors, is what helped earn her a spot in the Real Estate Forum 2014 Women of Influence Hall of Fame.
Since joining the company in 1997, Myerson has implemented revised company strategies to take advantage of new market opportunities and in the process significantly increased the Swig Co.'s value and national scope.
