Marvin said: “I hope to use my diverse international experience to assist Colliers in developing relationships which deliver enduring value for our cross-border colleagues and clients. As a German native, I will have particular focus on Germany, as one of Colliers’ strongest markets in the EMEA region.”
Rob concludes: “As we look to further develop our specialist Corporate Capital Solutions business and establish Colliers as a market leader in the EMEA region, we will continue to recruit high calibre talent by attracting professionals from the finance, accounting and banking sectors to complement our existing skills base and provide the most sophisticated and creative real estate finance solutions for our clients.
