CBRE Military aims to build upon the success of the company’s Junior Military Officer (JMO) program, founded in 2012.

Grayson Gill, Chief Operations Officer for Asset Services, and Scott Reppert, Managing Director for GCS, were involved with the JMO program from its inception, and have been named the Co-Executive Sponsors for CBRE Military.

“Our military experienced employees are vital to the success of our business and our operations,” said Mr. Gill. “CBRE Military will work to recruit, develop and retain these employees in a way that sets them up for success in our corporate environment while speaking to their military background.”

Raising CBRE Military to official networking group status further solidifies CBRE’s commitment to provide an environment that welcomes and embraces the talents, needs and interests of military experienced employees. CBRE has received several accolades for its military recruitment and retention efforts:

  • Ranked #53 on Victory Media’s Top 100 Military Friendly® Employers list for 2015
  • Designated as a Military Spouse Friendly Employer® for 2015
  • Named a Top Veteran-Friendly Company by U.S. Veterans Magazine for 2014
  • Recognized as a Most Valuable Employer for Military by Civilianjobs.com for 2014

“We are proud to be recognized as an employer of choice for those who have served or are currently serving in our armed forces, but we know our work is not done,” said Jennifer Ashley, Global Director, Human Resources. “CBRE Military signifies another step toward ensuring we do our very best to meet the needs of our military experienced employees throughout their career.”
