Jeff Weidenborner joins rapidly expanding team as Executive Managing Director

SEATTLE, May 16, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Colliers International announced the addition of Jeff Weidenborner as an executive managing director for Colliers' Corporate Solutions team in the Americas.  Weidenborner will focus on regional and global business development, including collaboration with and support of Colliers brokers on joint pursuits.

Colliers' Corporate Solutions platform has experienced dramatic growth in the past three years with the addition of many senior professionals to the team.

"Since 2010, Corporate Solutions has won 32 contracts, and grown revenue by 300 percent," said Scott Nelson, 19-year industry veteran and President, Corporate Solutions | Americas.  "As we continue to make strategic investments in talent, technology and innovation, we're confident that this new business growth will accelerate under Jeff's leadership."

Weidenborner, who will be based in New York City, brings more than a decade of international business development and corporate services account management to his new role, most recently with Johnson Controls.

"I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to work with this outstanding team as we continue to advance our operating model," said Weidenborner. "I look forward to leveraging the infrastructure and technology we have built for our clients' benefit."

To further align with global client needs, maximize service levels, and accelerate Colliers' ability to provide innovative and customized solutions across a broader geography, Colliers recently combined its Corporate Solutions operations in the U.S., Canada and Latin America into a single Americas organization. Since this change, Colliers has already been retained by NASDAQ to provide global lease administration and business intelligence technology, and transaction management outside of the U.S.

Corporate Solutions at Colliers comprises five distinct service lines including integrated client services, strategy and innovation, lease administration, project management, and facilities management.  The global organization is made up of four regional teams covering the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Asia Pacific, and Australasia.
