Kathy Foster
Executive vice president
Background: Foster specializes in global occupier advisory for enterprise clients, including account and portfolio management, technology and strategic consulting. She possesses more than 28 years of in-depth experience and is focused on ensuring Colliers’ Occupier Services enterprise clients receive best-in-class solutions to manage their organizations and portfolios.
Key to success: “My success in business stems from being committed to transparency and always being mindful of client perspective. The first 13 years of my career were spent as an in-house corporate real estate representative, which has provided me the ability to understand how the client operates and what they expect from an outside advisor.”
Source of pride: “I am most proud of my 2022 success onboarding a global technology client with a CRE portfolio of 760-plus sites, totaling 56 million square feet. This complex undertaking involved building a team, creating processes, and developing strategies for global portfolio management. This project launched my career into an exciting global arena.”
Surprising fact: “I am a contemporary dancer, performing on stage well into adulthood and taking classes in recent years with students 30 years younger than me. Two years ago, I participated in a four-day retreat, taking six classes a day ranging from ballet and broadway to hip-hop and jazz.”
