Michael Thiele now also responsible for Global Occupier Services in DACH and the Netherlands

28/01/2021
The scope of Dr Michael Thiele's role at the international real estate consultancy firm Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) is expanding: With immediate effect, Thiele is also responsible for Global Occupier Services (GOS) in the DACH region and the Netherlands. Previously, he was head of GOS in Germany. In his expanded responsibility, he now also supports companies beyond Germany in managing their portfolios with all real estate issues - with the help of fully integrated services and digital solutions. Thiele is now also a member of the GOS EMEA Management Team. In Germany, he is already a member of the Executive Committee of C&W.

Michael Thiele's expanded responsibilities follow Cushman & Wakefield's decision to transform the department even more into a global, supranational structure. GOS is thus structurally further adapting to the needs of international corporate clients – with fully integrated, seamless service across national borders. In his role as Head of Global Occupier Services DACH & Netherlands, Michael Thiele will continue to report to Richard Middleton, Head of Client Delivery GOS EMEA. 

Before joining C&W in 2006, Thiele was Head of the Hamburg office of Ernst & Young Real Estate GmbH. In this position, he was also responsible for the establishment and expansion of the company in Northern Germany.
