A series of new appointments will bolster multiple Marshall White offices, as the network focuses on building the next generation of leaders from within the business.
Marshall White has announced 10 new senior appointments across its sales and property management teams within Stonnington, Boroondara, Mornington Peninsula, and Port Phillip.
Port Phillip sales agent, Ben Manolitsas, and Mornington Peninsula agent, Bailey White, were both elevated to director roles at their respective offices.
According to the network, Manolitsas had built a strong track record in Melbourne’s inner bayside market, while White had established a strong presence across the Mornington Peninsula.
Marshall White CEO, Simon Jovanovic, said the appointments were about building greater leadership depth across the business.
“As we continue to grow, we need strong leaders around who can set the standard, share their experience and help others perform at their best," he told REB.
Jovanovic said while all appointees had shown they were capable individuals, the move was about their wider contributions to their teams, offices, and the broader business.
“We see them as an important part of the next generation of leadership at Marshall White,” he said.
Additionally, Fiona Ansell-Jones, Jesse Matthews, and David Volpato have been appointed as directors to the Stonnington office, while Grace Morley has become a partner at the agency.
Meanwhile, Daniel Bradd, Nikki Van Gulick, and Andrew Gibbons, from Boroondara, and Ash Howarth, from Stonnington, have been appointed associate directors.
According to Jovanovic, the network was committed to building up leadership skills from within the business and showing newcomers that there was a genuine career path to be built.
“Some of our best leaders have grown up within the business, and I think there’s something really powerful about people being able to look around and see examples of where their own career could potentially take them,” he said.
He added there was also an advantage in developing leaders who already understood the network’s culture, expectations and its operations.
“Leadership requires a different set of skills, so we need to invest in helping our people learn how to lead, coach and develop others.”
Jovanovic also said he had high confidence the appointees were equipped to handle the current challenging conditions, as they had worked through various market cycles.
“What we can control is our activity, the quality of our advice, how well we communicate with our clients and the standards we set for ourselves.”
“Having strong leaders and mentors around our people helps keep the focus on those things – particularly when the market gets a little harder.”
