As a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience in sales and business development and 15 years of leadership across various countries, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my role as Associate Vice President at CBRE Montreal. Over the years, I have become an expert in optimizing processes and addressing unique challenges to help clients reach their business goals through real estate. My passion for this industry drives me to deliver exceptional results for office tenants and landlords.

In my previous role as Leasing Director at WeWork, I spearheaded the broker partnership program, building strong relationships within the brokerage community and economic development groups to expand our sales pipeline. This led to the successful occupancy of space in Montreal and Miami, both known as challenging markets, in record time. I honed my public speaking skills by pitching to brokerage firms and building trust within the industry, resulting in full-floor flex deals in less than six months. This was uncommon at the time as flex space catered to start-ups and freelancers, and it led to nearly doubling WeWork’s occupancy in Montreal and Miami within a year.

In my current role, I strategically guide clients through managing their real estate portfolios. I provide flexible office solutions and traditional leases to support growth and expansion, particularly for those entering the Montreal market for the first time. My experience with new market expansions has given me a deep understanding of tenants' challenges when entering a new country and hiring talent. This allows me to understand my clients’ needs and provide creative, dynamic solutions that blend agile workspaces with traditional long-term leases.

When working with me, you can expect an empathetic approach to your needs, adaptable office solutions and consistent, impactful results. Reach out to see how I can support your business goals through strategic real estate solutions.
