Rob brings a rare combination of technical depth, leadership across multiple markets and a clear understanding of how to translate strategy into action – which makes him the right person to lead this next phase of growth.”

He also provides expert witness testimony and has extensive experience supporting institutional clients. He joined Newmark in 2017 and has held several leadership roles, including Market Leader for Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, and Regional Managing Director for the Midwest and Northeast, and will also continue to lead the Industrial & Logistics Specialty Practice for Newmark’s valuation group.
“Our clients are making increasingly complex decisions and require precise, integrated advice that spans markets and disciplines,” said Vodinelic. “The opportunity is to further align our people, data and capabilities so we can deliver more consistent, insight-driven outcomes at scale. I’m focused on building on the strength of our business and continuing to elevate how we support clients across the full lifecycle of their real estate.”
