Hi, Iām James Hanley, PE ā an engineer turned real estate professional with a deep passion for blending technology, innovation, and, most importantly, people to create the spaces of the future. Over the years, Iāve led projects that drive meaningful change, and Iāve shared my insights at events like ā1 Real Estate Worldā and in CSE Magazine. My core belief is that while technology is a powerful tool, itās the people behind itāour teams, clients, and communitiesāthat truly make organizational transformation happen.
Iām currently a Senior Director at CBRE in New York, where I lead a global team of engineers and program managers focused on operations, innovation, digital transformation, and talent development. With an MBA from Baylor University in communication and experience at BuroHappold, I bring a unique perspective to shaping the future of real estate. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, golfing, and playing fantasy football. This March, Iāll be speaking at New York Build on āFacilities of the Future: Key Trends and Innovations,ā where Iāll explore how collaboration and human connection are at the core of industry transformation.
