PORTLAND, Ore., July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Norris, Beggs & Simpson Companies, one of Portland's oldest and largest full-service commercial real estate companies, has ushered in a new era in its leadership, including its first female CEO.
Jan Robertson is now NBS Companies CEO, while J. Clayton Hering is Chairman of the Board. Two of the company's divisions also gained new presidents.
"The partners who are stepping into new roles have an incredible breadth and depth of experience," Hering said. "This new leadership structure will spread out responsibility among them, which is a win-win for both the company and our clients."
