NEW YORK CITY—Noble Carpenter has been named Cushman & Wakefield's capital markets service line leader for the Americas region. Based in New York City, Carpenter will report to CEO Joe Stettinius and to Carlo Barel di Sant'Albano, chairman of the EMEA region and chief executive, global capital markets and investor services.

Prior to the merger of DTZ and C&W, which closed last month, Carpenter was president of DTZ's Americas capital markets team. The firm closed more than $13.1 billion of sales and finance transactions across the US in 2014 under his guidance.

Carpenter also led DTZ's strategic accounts initiative, tailored to 25 of the firm's largest institutional investor clients. Before joining DTZ, he spent more than 15 years in senior transactional and leadership roles in JLL's capital markets group, executing over $12 billion in sales and financings.

In his new role, Carpenter will focus on aligning the strategic direction of C&W's combined legacy capital markets teams as they concentrate on investment sales, mortgage brokerage, equity placements, corporate and structured finance and investment banking businesses. He will also focus on recruiting new talent.

Stettinius says that Carpenter “truly embodies the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit of the new Cushman & Wakefield and he will thrive in this new role. His experience and vision will inspire our already-successful capital markets team to exceed clients' expectations and maximize value for their investments.”
