Cushman & Wakefield adds three new brokerage team professionals in Boston

Boston, MA Cushman & Wakefield has hired three industry professionals to join its local office. These additions enhance the growth strategy the firm has forged since late last year.

“Making key hires and adding diverse skillsets to our talented team is the right move,” said Carolyn Sidor, managing principal of Cushman & Wakefield’s New England offices. “Melding existing talent with new talent is a catalyst for us to push boundaries, reach new heights for our clients and extend our leadership position in the market.”

Brian Connolly joins as executive director from JLL. He brings more than 18 years of experience focused on driving value and results for mid-size portfolio companies in the delivery of transaction services nationally and globally. Prior to his role at JLL, he worked with Richards Barry Joyce and Partners. 

Pete Whoriskey rejoins Cushman & Wakefield as managing director and will work with the South & West Suburban team. Whoriskey was most recently a managing director with Newmark, but worked at Cushman & Wakefield from 2011-2015. He also held positions with Anglo Irish Bank and Boston Capital earlier in his career. 

Conor Helfrich, who previously worked at Newmark, joins the firm as a senior associate. Helfrich’s efforts will be concentrated on new business development in both Boston and Cambridge.
