Cushman & Wakefield Rehires Former JLL Executive To Lead Occupier Services
Commercial real estate services giant Cushman & Wakefield has appointed industry veteran Tom Maloney as the new chair of its Americas Occupier Services group. Maloney makes his return to the firm after more than a decade at JLL, where he most recently served as the occupier services lead for the North American markets.
This leadership change comes at a pivotal moment for the office sector, which continues to grapple with shifting work patterns and volatile corporate demand. Maloney is expected to focus on helping major businesses navigate their physical footprint needs, integrating portfolio strategy with operational efficiency as clients rethink their long-term real estate commitments.
The move underscores an intensifying competition among top-tier brokerages to secure established talent capable of managing complex corporate accounts. By bringing Maloney back into the fold, Cushman & Wakefield aims to strengthen its advisory capabilities for large-scale occupiers during a period of significant structural change in the market.
Industry observers will be watching how Maloney’s leadership influences the firm's market share in North America, particularly as hybrid work models become permanent fixtures of the economy. His extensive background in integrated facility management and account leadership is expected to be a central pillar of the firm's growth strategy in the coming year.
