With clients in over 100 countries and a global team of 105,000+, CBRE is one of the world’s leading commercial real estate services & investment companies. As MD of CBRE’s Irish operations, Myles Clarke has a bird’s-eye view of Ireland’s current and future commercial activity, FDI footprint, and the nature of the post-covid workplace. He is also plugged-in to the incredibly fast-changing importance of environmental sustainability and clients’ demand for highly efficient commercial properties.  

In this episode of The EY CEO Outlook podcast Myles Clarke joins host Richard Curran to talk about his ambitions for CBRE
Ireland, what the commercial real estate market can reveal about a country’s
economy, and his leadership style. They also discuss: 

·       The changing nature of FDI in Ireland – increasing
diversification and decreasing reliance on tech and on being fully based in
Dublin.   

·       The future of retail and balancing ‘bricks and mortar’ with
an online presence.  

·       Why Myles and his family decided to move from London and
settle in the small village of Fanore, Co Clare.  

·       The power of keeping things simple and why clients and customers value it so
much.  

·       His leadership style – being thoughtful, delegating correctly, and speaking one’s
mind.
