Ken Sacco Joins Avison Young from Accenture

Ken Sacco has joined Avison Young as a principal, based in Chicago. Sacco joins Avison Young from Accenture, and will advise corporate clients on their real estate portfolio strategies.

“Ken is an accomplished business leader with diverse experience across commercial real estate, finance, technology and management consulting,” said Gerry Hughes, global head of consulting services at Avison Young. “He’s ideally suited to help clients optimize their real estate strategies, aligning with their core business objectives.”

Sacco brings more than 20 years’ experience to Avison Young, spanning commercial real estate, investment banking and management consulting. He has held leadership roles within Accenture, JLL, CBRE and Barclays.
