"I have known Ayesha for the last 15 years from when she was an analyst and including when we executed on the largest disposition program in Canadian history.
Ayesha’s contribution to the program included working with a diverse group of purchasers and real estate brokers to sell many, many individual properties.
Ayesha accomplishments were even harder as a woman born in Pakistan in an industry that has historically been mostly male and white. She handled all of the challenges and made her mark within the industry. "
"I have worked with Ayesha since she commenced her career in the real estate industry, as an Analyst, over fifteen years ago.
Over that period of time, I have watched Ayesha progress from an entry level position to a Senior Vice President with responsibility for billions of dollars of real estate acquisitions and dispositions.
In all of my many business interactions with Ayesha, over many years, I have always found Ayesha to be a highly capable real estate executive, possessing strong judgement and a great deal of commercial common sense with the ability to get things done with a high degree of integrity at all times."
“Ayesha was remarkably creative in solving transaction related challenges and was the coordinator of the ownership team and the CBRE advisory teams in more than $3B of sales activity.
Ayesha is well versed in the office and industrial asset classes and is a really positive person which goes along way while in a transaction cycle. I really enjoyed working with Ayesha as did the rest of the CBRE team.”
"Real estate investments is an industry which is predominantly male dominated and although the culture is changing, it is rare to find many women operating at a high level. It takes certain skills to be successful in the job including emotional intelligence, perseverance and the ability to remain professional under all circumstances - all of which Ayesha embodies.
Ayesha and I have worked through some of the toughest and most challenging files and her ability to analyze the situation and prioritize issues while remaining level headed is really a talent and an asset."
