This month's Video Showcase features a joint interview with three industry leaders from CBRE: Stuart Appley, Managing Director, GWS Technology Solutions; Brian Oswald, Managing Director of CBRE | ESI and Matt Toner, Managing Director, Smart Buildings and IoT. Toner is responsible for developing and delivering a new generation of client solutions; Appley manages the Global Workplace Solution group that develops, drives and leads pilots on innovative digital projects across the organization; and Oswald leads the CBRE | ESI group that delivers building automation and managed services to improve building performance.

For the last 20 years, the industry has focused on automating building operations. Today, this has evolved to include the personalized tenant experience. This interview showcases CBRE’s journey to merge their operational and experiential smart building initiatives in order to transform the occupant experience. Watch the full interview:
