Women in Real Estate 2018: CBRE’s Georgas Works to Bring Out Everybody’s Best

Still in her 30s, Jamie Georgas is the managing director for CBRE’s Chicago office, overseeing the occupier advisory group for the region as well as running downtown Chicago operations. She’s also global chair for CBRE’s Law Firm Practice Group.

“Jamie is a leader in every sense of the word,” says John Latessa, president of CBRE’s Midwest division. “She dedicates herself to our clients, professionals and peers, while also managing multiple practice groups and spearheading key initiatives for the company, while consistently delivering excellent outcomes.”

What’s most impressive, he adds, is “how she works so hard to bring out the best in others. It’s no easy task to manage a diverse group of commercial real estate professionals, yet her efforts have earned the respect of everyone from young brokers to some of the top producers at CBRE.”

These are just some of the reasons we chose Georgas as one of the 2018 Women in Real Estate Award winners. Connect Media’s Women in Real Estate Awards honor the achievements and inspirational stories of women who have reached respected positions of leadership and play key mentorship roles for others.

Georgas’ leadership has also been recognized outside the company. She was recently named a Fellow of Leadership Greater Chicago. She was also selected in 2017 as one of Chicago’s most prominent business leaders for a 10-month program, where she was immersed in key socioeconomic issues facing the city and region.
