Bio
I worked closely with Brian throughout his career at Olson and so I have not been at all surprised to see him successfully transition from communications/PR to commercial real estate. His strong leadership style, his ability to build enduring relationships based on mutual trust, and his commitment to understanding what matters most to his customers all are skills that are valuable no matter the profession. He consistently pushed for a deep understanding of all business factors that might impact a project so he could ensure his team was developing a thoughtful, integrated plan that would exceed client expectations. And he always provided honest, constructive input that made him a valued counselor to his client's senior leaders, communications team, marketing team and others.
