As a Global Associate Research Director, Wei Luo works with the Global Chief Economist, and other senior researchers, to provide data-driven, thought-leading research and analysis that help clients strategize capital allocation to commercial real estate globally.
Wei has taken several roles within CBRE. She joined the company in 2014, working in a Transaction & Advisory team to build and visualize an industrial and logistics database.
