“Kyle is a true servant-leader, highly focused on caring for both our external and internal clients.

She currently serves as Manhattan market leader and head of occupier services for CBRE’s New York Tri-State Region. Additionally, she is executive sponsor of the firm’s Tri-State Women’s Network and co-leads CBRE’s diversity strategy in the Americas. Prior to that, she coordinated a global team at IBM dealing with sales and marketing strategies, enterprise software development and execution, business process improvement and change management.

The newly appointed executive holds a B.S. degree in civil engineering from Duke University and an MBA in finance from the University of Michigan. She is also a board member of both the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the British American Business.
