Leadership & Management

GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum is pleased to reveal the 2022 Influencers in Multifamily Real Estate that will be honored at the Multifamily Fall conference in Los Angeles on October 24-25.

If you end up being someone that no one is going to bet against you in that room, then you will get respected, said the Nuveen executive at the recent GlobeSt.com national Women of Influence conference.

The firm has appointed Cushman & Wakefield-veteran David Bitner to spearhead global research as executive managing director.

"When you are truly passionate about your field and career, you will start to yearn for more…and that's when you find your greatest potential," states Naomi Ayala, co-founder of DMT Transact.

"Life is too short not to work with nice people," says Mike Ballard, co-founder of Camino Verde Group.

"Those who are obsessed and committed 24/7 and know their numbers very well will be successful in this industry," says James Curnin, CEO and founder of Clara Homes.

Professionals are enthusiastic about welcoming new individuals into the commercial real estate business.

"Find a mentor who is involved in the local community, as well as the real estate industry – they will open your eyes to new ideas and opportunities and connect you with other like-minded people who are eager to make a difference," says Yuen Yung, CEO at Casoro Group.
