CBRE has promoted two of its rising legal stars to senior executive roles.
Chad Doellinger, the group’s chief transformation officer since April, has been promoted to general counsel.
Doellinger was previously a senior member of the CBRE legal group from May 2020.
His promotion comes as CBRE moves the general counsel role to Dallas. Larry Midler, CBRE’s current General Counsel, decided to step down rather than relocate to the Texas city. He will remain with the company in a consulting capacity through mid-2024.
Banke Odunaike has been promoted to the new role of chief culture officer.
She will initially focus on ethics and compliance, diversity, senior leadership talent identification and development, and succession planning.
Doellinger and Odunaike have joined CBRE’s executive committee, alongside CEO Bob Sulentic and a group of eight senior executives who report directly to him.
“Chad and Banke are rising leaders who enhance our executive leadership team,” Sulentic said. “Chad is an innovative strategic thinker, and we will benefit significantly from his counsel and leadership. Banke is an accomplished executive who brings an important international perspective to her new responsibilities.”
