Sean’s role transcends traditional business development, encompassing the strategic cultivation of Avison Young’s industrial presence across the U.S. By collaborating with the Market Intelligence team and industry experts, he crafts compelling content that drives engagement, strengthens client relationships, and positions the firm as a leader in the industrial sector. His influence extends into internal communications, brand elevation through targeted media initiatives, and amplifying Avison Young’s voice via social engagement and industry events—ensuring the firm’s continued impact and growth in the marketplace.
In his previous role as Marketing Manager for Denver, Sean was instrumental in redefining the quality and impact of marketing initiatives. His leadership in content creation, creative direction, and process optimization not only enhanced efficiency but also set a new standard for marketing excellence. Collaborating with the West Region marketing team, he spearheaded forward-thinking solutions designed to drive business growth. Notable high-profile projects include directing the marketing efforts for a 1.0 million-square-foot office leasing portfolio and playing a key role in supporting Elevation25—a 37-acre, speculative, high-bay warehouse development that achieved full lease-up within a record timeframe for Phase 1 (+200k sf).
Before joining Avison Young, Sean held various roles at CBRE, where he contributed to high-impact campaigns and business development initiatives. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in Graphic Design from Colorado State University.
