Newmark Bolsters IT Team with VP of Product Operations

Felix Widjaja has joined Newmark as VP of product operations, managing product operations for the company’s information technology platform. Based in Chicago, Widjaja reports to chief information officer Sridhar Potineni. 

“As we continue to bolster Newmark’s IT group, we seek to expand the tech-driven real estate experience for our investors, tenants and occupiers,” said Potineni. “A seasoned professional with vast experience in the information technology side of real estate, Felix will be an asset to our team, Newmark’s professionals and our clients, and expects to hit the ground running with day-one initiatives.” 

Previously, Widjaja served as global head of digital operations for JLL’s Capital Markets group, leading the delivery and operations team for varying areas of the business, both customer and broker-facing. Widjaja has also held consulting roles at prominent firms, most notably with Deloitte Consulting, where he led numerous digital transformation engagements including CRM migration and platform optimization.
