NEW YORK, NY – Nov. 7, 2018 – Equiem, the global leader in tenant engagement solutions for commercial real estate, today announced the appointment of Richard Morell as the firm’s Executive Vice President of Business Development for North America. Mr. Morell, who will be based in Equiem’s Manhattan office, will build and lead a team of business development and customer service professionals as Equiem continues to expand its operations across the United States, Canada, the U.K. and Asia.

“As we continue to advance Equiem’s presence across the globe, Richard will play a key role in developing strategies to execute our business expansion goals in the U.S. and Canada,” said Gabrielle McMillan, CEO and Co-Founder of Equiem. “Richard’s passion, relationship-building skills and sharp, strategic grasp of the big picture will be an invaluable resource as we grow our portfolio in key markets across North America.”
