Broker-Managers Craig Henig
Bob Mulhern
Craig Henig, CBRE senior managing director and Arizona market leader, not only leads one of the firm’s largest single offices, Phoenix, but he is also solely responsible for executive-level oversight of the company’s entire Arizona operation, including 15 distinct lines of business and more than 450 employees. Biggest challenge: “The Great Recession was the most severe economic downturn the industry has experienced in 20+ years. Yet, while it was necessary to tighten the reins, I always put clients first — external and internal — providing the resources and tools to exceed clients’ expectations, which enabled CBRE to thrive through turbulent times.” Best advice to offer: “Provide respect, integrity, service and excellence in everything you do; offering thought leadership and strategy to clients as they look to us as experts in our field.”
Bob is managing director of Colliers International in Greater Phoenix, a full-service commercial real estate firm with offices in Phoenix and Scottsdale and more than 100 brokers and staff. With more than 30 years of industry experience, Bob has a successful track record managing brokerage, development and property management organizations. Biggest challenge: The biggest obstacle of my career has been obtaining ‘balance’ between the demands of work and home. I have established very clear priorities regarding this, and I find that people appreciate it when they see professionals putting first things first.” Best advice received: “There is no better advice than the Platinum Rule: Treat everyone how they want and deserve to be treated, with great dignity and respect, regardless of their age or position.”
