James Hanley šŸ‘‹ Proud Husband and Father of 2, Mentor, Communicator, Engineer

Hi, Iā€™m 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, Iā€™ve led projects that drive meaningful change, and Iā€™ve shared my insights at events like ā€˜1 Real Estate Worldā€™ and in CSE Magazine. My core belief is that while technology is a powerful tool, itā€™s the people behind itā€”our teams, clients, and communitiesā€”that truly make organizational transformation happen.

Iā€™m 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, Iā€™ll be speaking at New York Build on ā€œFacilities of the Future: Key Trends and Innovations,ā€ where Iā€™ll explore how collaboration and human connection are at the core of industry transformation.
