EQ Office’s Lisa Picard Talks Data, Tenant-Centricity & “Unlearning”
Lisa Picard, President and CEO of EQ Office, shared the stage with VTS CPO Brandon Weber for a fireside chat at VTS Accelerate, our global user conference that brought together over 400 commercial real estate leasing and asset management executives.
Chicago-based EQ Office, one of the largest commercial real estate firms in the country, has roughly 50 million square feet of Class A office space in its portfolio and continues to push the needle in terms of its offerings. The company, formerly Equity Office Properties, launched a new identity in June and is evolving its strategy to reflect the changing workplace needs of tenants.
As commercial real estate pivots from a property-focused industry towards a tenant-centric one, Lisa and EQ Office are continually innovating to provide new spaces, amenities, and experiences that will attract the best talent and lead the changes happening in workspaces.
