BLAZING NEWTRAILS
BARBI REUTER CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER BY JOYCE HADLEY COPELAND
96
When Barbi Reuter’s high school choir director’s wife offered her a summer job typing leases, she had no idea it would lead to a 20-year career in property management. Things just fell into place. While in college, Reuter worked for Mike Hammond at the industrial brokerage firm he launched in 1985. After she decided to work full time, Hammond put her through real estate school. “I interned with the brokers and then we fell into our first opportunity to manage a property,” Reuter says. Today she is chief operating officer and principal of Cushman & Wakefield | PICOR, Tucson’s leading independently owned, full-service commercial real estate company, and among the industry’s few women executives. “My first challenge was establishing credibility as a very young woman in the business,” Reuter says. She credits one of C&W | PICOR’s first female brokers—one of only two in the Tucson market when the company launched—for mentoring her into leadership. “She showed me that a woman could succeed in this industry,” she says. “And that an entrepreneurial environment was a place I belonged.” Reuter founded the firm’s property management division and established it as a market share leader for office, medical, industrial and retail space in Tucson and Sonora, Mexico. “We started as a boutique company,” she explains. “We were challenged
competing against national firms. Our ability to connect with Cushman & Wakefield eight years ago has allowed us to have the best of both worlds. We get to be locally autonomous market experts and connect to the larger brand and resources for our clients.” CEO Hammond continues to be a mentor and role model when it comes to delivering on excellence, leadership and community. “Community or industry service helped develop my leadership skills and my understanding that giving back is not just the right thing to do,” Reuter says. “It’s good for business.” She has served on the board of the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) and is a national board member for CREW Network (Formerly Commercial Real Estate Women), where she is a trailblazer for women in the industry. “We’ve just launched a certificate in leadership program with CREW Network with a class of 60 women around the country,” she says. “And we’ve worked hard as a board to match them to executive mentors.” In her off-duty hours, Reuter likes to ski with her husband and continues to enjoy chorale singing. “I would have never predicted that I would have decades with one firm,” she says. “It’s been a challenge, something new every year. From ownership at a young age, to support of the community to new client relationships, and innovating and rethinking the way we deliver service, it’s never been stale.”
