Most recently, he served as the President of Enterprise Global Services within CBRE’s Global Workplace Solutions, overseeing strategy and execution across its retail facilities and project management offerings, lease administration services, smart buildings, and sustainability solutions. With a proven track record of growth and a wide area of expertise, Mr. Hayden is well-positioned to lead Stratus into its next chapter. “I am not only excited to accept the position of CEO at Stratus, but also look forward to working with Tim and the team to accelerate our growth and deliver even greater value to our customers and partners,” said Mr. Hayden.
