TALKING WITH TALENT TALKING WITH TALENT

Tell us a little about yourself: I am an Atlanta native. I grew up in Sandy Springs (ITP) and went to Riverwood High School. I traveled a long way across the state to Athens to attend the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) where I majored in Real Estate and minored in Spanish. I met my husband after a UGA/Auburn game in Athens. Andy went to Auburn and our relationship has never been tested like it will be on Saturday! I have worked since I was 12, I started with babysitting, then waitressed at a retirement home. I continued to work in college where I waitressed and promoted concerts for JoMo Entertainment in exchange for free concert tickets. I have always loved music although I can’t play anything. My husband and I try to attend a show whenever we can, which is a little harder nowadays since we have two little girls, Hayden (4) and Drew (2 next week!). Tell us about your role at Cushman & Wakefield. What’s a typical day like for you at the office? I started my career with Cushman & Wakefield straight out of college. I was hired as a Research Associate by James Phillpott and assigned to track the industrial market. I was quickly hired out of

Research to join the former GOS where I started on the transaction side of the business. I was working with Ray Stache a great deal and joined his team full-time almost 10 years ago. Tell us about a moment in your career or an achievement that you are particularly proud of. In July, I was promoted to lead

Lisa Pittman Director/Industrial Tenant Representation Lead

the industrial tenant rep team which has been an exciting and new challenge with

my first foray into management. It has been eye opening to see the other side of the business and I have learned a ton! Is there a motto or quote you live by? I’m constantly reminding myself to slow down. If we ever find ourselves in a Lisa Pittman Trivia Contest, what’s something we should know? I love a good Spotify war!
