Colliers International in Greater Phoenix announced that Peter Bauman, senior associate, has joined the Phoenix office.

Bauman specializes in investment sales and corporate tenant representation. Client services include dispositions, acquisitions, site selection, financial analysis and strategic planning. Bauman partners with Tivon Moffitt, vice president.

“Peter is a welcome addition to the Colliers team,” said Bob Mulhern, managing director of Colliers International. “He has a strong work ethic, is a dedicated professional, and is enthusiastic about working closely with other brokers to best serve our clients. We are fortunate to have Peter on board.”

Bauman’s background includes expertise in the healthcare industry and extensive international business experience in Ghana, The Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, United Kingdom and Costa Rica. Prior to joining Colliers, Bauman was with Fresenius Medical Care North America in northern California, where he helped improve patient productivity and clinic profitability.

Previously, Bauman held the positions of exploration manager and geologist for Wyoming Mining and Exploration in Ghana, West Africa, from 2007 to 2009. He created feasibility studies, which he presented to investors to secure funds for operations. His responsibilities also included profit and loss forecasts, annual budgets, mine plans and exploration growth models.

“When I made the decision to pursue a career in commercial real estate, I spoke with a number of brokers at various firms,” Bauman said. “The decision to join Colliers was driven by the dynamic and synergistic work environment, the entrepreneurial spirit, and the strong core values that are ingrained in the Colliers culture. There was an immediate connection with Colliers and with Tivon Moffitt.”
