Local Boy John Stirek Lands Key Post in Trammell Crow Reorganization

PORTLAND-John Stirek knew if he kept his head down long enough, he would one-day look up to find it had been worth the effort. Call it 20/20 foresight.

Stirek is getting his biggest assignment to date from Trammell Crow–one of the biggest the company has to offer–and if he performs like he has in the past for the Dallas-based commercial real estate services company, everybody is going to end up better off.

Stirek, who grew up in Lake Oswego and recently built a house there a few blocks from his parents, has been named chief operating officer of the publicly traded company’s new Global Services Group. The Group, created in the company’s recently angounced company-wide reorganization of its business, encompasses approximately 7,000 employees serving corporate and institutional customers with management, brokerage and transaction services.
