LISTEN: In the latest episode of EG’s REWIRE podcast, editor Samantha McClary meets Christine Battist, chief financial officer of Avison Young, the Canadian real estate adviser that recently bought GVA and has ambitious expansion plans.
The pair talk about the diversity and inclusion agenda in the North American real estate sector and discuss Avison Young’s focus on establishing and growing a more diverse workforce within its own business.
Battist, who admits she has been a leader since the playground, talks about the need for leaders in business – particularly women – to pay it forward, the power of sponsors and how awareness is one of the greatest tools in delivering diversity and inclusion.
