SIOR Names Robert Thornburgh Its New CEO
SIOR has named Robert Thornburgh as its new CEO. Based out of Los Angeles, the industry veteran was selected out of a number of highly qualified candidates and comes to SIOR from Kidder Mathews, where he was a shareholder and regional president of brokerage for many years.
During much of his professional career, Thornburgh served as CEO at Heger Industrial, a prominent real estate firm with a 60-year legacy in the Los Angeles market. Additionally, he has served as SIOR Global President and sat on the SIOR board of directors.
“It is with immense pleasure that I accept the role of SIOR chief executive officer,” said Thornburgh. “Being an SIOR has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career, so I am thrilled to have this unique opportunity to contribute in forward-thinking ways to this amazing organization and the broader commercial real estate industry that I care so deeply about.”
Thornburgh holds four of the most respected designations within the commercial real estate industry: SIOR, CCIM CPM, and FRICS. It’s a distinction that less than 1% of all global commercial real estate practitioners have achieved.
SIOR Global President Mark Duclos said, “While our search was exhaustive, Robert’s knowledge of the industry, passion for this organization, and commitment of integrity and innovation will guide us toward a prosperous future. No one will work harder, and be more dedicated to our organization, members, and staff. He has already proven to be an excellent mentor and role model to myself and so many others, and I look forward to where this organization is headed with him at the helm.
