The new business line is being led by David Bowden, former CEO of Colliers Canada, and a veteran of the industry with more than 40 years of commercial real estate experience and a track record of success. The group will be comprised of multi-disciplinary experts drawn from across Colliers, who bring together a core specialization in the commercial real estate industry and strong grasp of corporate strategy that immediately position the Colliers S&C Group as an industry leader.
