“[McCluskey] brings a unique skill set to Savills,”Janet Woods, vice chairman and Northeast region lead for Savills, said in a statement. “Considering her background in leading the global real estate strategy in both law and financial services, [McCluskey’s] arrival further positions the firm to be the premier tenant advocate in a time of tremendous change and evolving real estate needs.”
