Cushman & Wakefield, Inc., the world’s largest privately held commercial real estate services firm, announces the promotions of Rick Hughes to Executive Director and D. Kurt Griffin to Senior Director in the firm’s Transaction Services Group. The titles are bestowed upon the Dallas-based brokerage professionals in honor of production for and service to the firm.

“The criteria for executive director includes long tenured senior brokers who in all aspects of their lives exemplify the standards and achievements expected of the firm's leading and most outstanding personnel,” said Elizabeth Trocchio, Executive Managing Director of the Dallas branch in announcing Mr. Hughes’ promotion.

Mr. Hughes has been a commercial real estate brokerage professional for more than 28 years, joining Cushman & Wakefield in 1980.

Mr. Hughes has an extensive background in both office and industrial property types, averaging more than two million square feet of assignments per year throughout his brokerage career.

Mr. Hughes earned his undergraduate degree in nuclear engineering from Texas A&M University.

“It is a great honor to earn the title of Executive Director, as it is not a title that comes with longevity or production alone,” said Mr. Hughes. “It is a sign that the company recognizes your contributions to the firm.”

Mr. Griffin has 19 years of industry experience, specializing in corporate industrial property sales and leasing.
