Mohr Partners Inc., a top-three global occupier-focused corporate real estate services firm, has hired Russell Gum as managing director of client solutions.
Gum, a 26-year corporate real estate veteran, will be based at Mohr Partners’ global headquarters in Dallas and report directly to Chief Commercial Officer Misti Meggs.
Gum aims to leverage his two-plus decades of experience managing large, complex real estate portfolios for Fortune 500 clients. With Mohr Partners’ best-in-class full-service corporate real estate platform, he expects to see “great outcomes” for corporate and healthcare clients.”
In his new role, Gum will work directly with Mohr Partners’ existing corporate services and logistics/industrial clients in managing their leased and owned real estate, the company said.
‘A hands-on real estate advisor’
Gum also will collaborate closely with Mohr Partners’ existing Global Corporate Services leadership team to deliver integrated solutions across all service disciplines and geographies. And, Gum will support Mohr Partners’ brokers, service-lines leaders, and strategic partners in developing new business as a part of the firm’s client solutions team.
“As our clients address the ever-growing complexity in managing and optimizing their real estate footprint, they will increasingly require innovative corporate real estate solutions to drive efficiencies and cost savings,” Meggs said in a statement. “Russell’s strong background as a hands-on real estate advisor uniquely qualifies him to deliver optimal outcomes for our clients.”
Before Mohr Partners, Gum served in increasingly responsible corporate real estate advisory roles with Cresa, Savills, JLL, and CBRE. He also was a transaction manager with Bank of America’s corporate real estate department.
