CBRE has announced that Catharine Teeter has been promoted to the position of regional sales director for the Southwest Region. In this role, she will work closely with the managing directors in CBRE’s Phoenix, Tucson, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and Albuquerque offices on reporting business and market share activity, new business pursuits, pipelines and follow-up requirements. Her key objectives will include increasing opportunities and improving win rates for CBRE’s sales professionals. Teeter will also serve as a conduit for assisting professionals with identifying resources and information within the enterprise platform.

”I am pleased to announce Cathy’s promotion to regional sales director,” said Craig Henig, CBRE’s senior managing director and Arizona market leader. “Cathy has been instrumental in working towards our goal of achieving operational excellence, and I know she will bring the same focus and dedication to her new role. Cathy’s deep market knowledge and professional relationships coupled with her 25+ years of industry experience make her an ideal fit as our new Regional Sales Director.”

Teeter joined CBRE last spring as the director of operations for the Southwest Region. In this role, she has been responsible for the implementation and oversight of the firm’s new local market operations structure, which is designed to drive a deeper level of support to local offices and employees across markets.

Prior to joining CBRE, Teeter spent more than 25 years with Cushman & Wakefield, where she most recently served as the senior operations manager for their offices in Arizona and Nevada. During that time, she gained considerable experience successfully running profitable operations while leveraging an effective administrative infrastructure that provided superior service to professionals in brokerage, asset services, project management and valuation advisory groups. Additionally, Ms. Teeter served on national committees for broker support and broker training programs and has worked with major clients including American Express, Symantec, Lucent, Citigroup, eBay and Prudential.

Teeter holds an MA degree in Organizational Management, a BA in business administration and a professional human resources (PHR) certification. She is an active member of the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) and NAIOP.
