In the role, Williams will oversee strategic client partnerships and portfolio performance across office, industrial, retail, mixed-use and specialized assets, including hospitality-forward environments.

Role and Responsibilities

Williams will also help advance an integrated service delivery model spanning operations, engineering, sustainability, hospitality, amenities and food and beverage partnerships, according to Newmark.

Richard Holden, President of Property and Facilities Management at Newmark, said the role is intended to connect on-the-ground execution with broader portfolio strategy.

"Newmark's Property Management business continues to grow in scale and sophistication as clients seek more integrated, performance-oriented solutions," Holden said. "This role is designed to strengthen how we serve key accounts by connecting on-the-ground execution with broader portfolio strategy, helping ensure clients benefit from more coordinated decision-making, stronger operational performance and a more seamless service experience. Brett brings the leadership and perspective to help advance that approach."

Williams joins Newmark with more than 25 years of commercial real estate management experience, having overseen portfolios totaling more than 200 million square feet across the United States and Canada.

Most recently, he served as Executive Managing Director, Central Region/Canada Lead, Asset Services at Cushman & Wakefield, where he managed property management operations across a diverse portfolio of office, industrial and retail assets and led more than 1,000 employees.
