Tim Courtnall is set to lead the commercial firm’s office leasing business across Australia and New Zealand, setting the stage for another internal elevation.
Having first joined CBRE nearly two decades ago, Mr Courtnall’s first role was in tenant representation. He then made the move into leasing in 2010, before a stint away from CBRE until early 2021.
At that point in time, he came back to the firm to “reshape and grow CBRE’s NSW office leasing business”.
Weighing in on Mr Courtnall’s promotion, newly appointed CBRE Pacific advisory and transaction services team leader Mark Curtain said: “Tim’s commitment to our clients, creating a high-performance culture, connectivity across geographies, learning and development initiatives and technology improvements, has resulted in considerable success in our NSW office leasing business, which he’s led for almost three years.”
In turn, Rachel Vincent is set to step into the leadership role for CBRE’s NSW office leasing business, in tandem with her North Sydney managing director role, having spent the last seven-and-a-half years with the firm’s office leasing business.
She also brings experience in client-side roles, and had also spent close to half a decade in CBRE’s South Sydney office.
According to Mr Curtain: “In assessing Tim’s successor, Rachel was the clear standout.”
“She’s an extraordinary leader, as demonstrated by the impact she’s had at the helm of our North Sydney business over the past four years,” he commented.
“Tim and Rachel’s promotions are a great example of the tremendous depth of talent we have within our business, and the opportunities we provide for career progression.”
Mr Curtain went on to note that both newly appointed leaders “are highly respected by our office leasing clients, having delivered successful outcomes for some of the region’s largest office owners on major appointments across the market”.
“They will remain active in the market in their new roles, supporting our clients and executing on their leasing strategies in this dynamic market.”
