Cushman & Wakefield Hires New Americas Capital Markets COO

Cushman & Wakefield has hired a new chief operating officer for its Americas Capital Markets arm, based in San Diego.

Cushman & Wakefield has hired Bryan Doyle as chief operating officer for its Americas Capital Markets division, based in San Diego.

Doyle was brought on from CBRE, where he served as a managing director in the capital markets arm and was head of CBRE’s private client program, according to a release from Cushman. 

“As we continue to grow in scale and complexity, strengthening our operational infrastructure is critical to delivering best-in-class outcomes for our clients,” said Miles Treaster, president for Americas Capital Markets.

In his new position, Doyle will guide operational strategy and execution across the Americas Capital Markets platform.

At CBRE, Doyle was the business lead for the firm’s technology network, including its proprietary tools for market analytics, as well as artificial intelligence-powered insight platforms. Doyle spent almost a decade at CBRE, according to his LinkedIn page. 

AI was a sore spot for major brokerages this week, as stocks dropped into the low double digits amid fears AI could disrupt their business, especially brokerage. 

Capital markets transaction volume at Cushman helped fuel revenue growth in the third quarter of last year and was expected to continue to grow in the final quarter of the year. The company’s fourth-quarter results will be available next week.
