Ryan Rodriguez, VP of IT Services at Piedmont Office Realty Trust, joins us to talk commercial real estate leadership, office real estate post-pandemic, and how commercial real estate technology is reshaping the tenant experience.

We get into:

▶ Why becoming a dad rewires you for leadership

▶ How to actually hire for will, not just skill

▶ How “placemaking” has improved Piedmont Realty Trust’s leasing since before the pandemic

▶ The "Ritz Carlton of offices" strategy at Galleria

▶ Where AI in commercial real estate is coming into play

▶ Treating AI like an intern

▶ Faith, hard seasons, and the question every leader should sit with: when are you most proud of yourself at work?

‍

If you lead an IT team, run a property, or sit in any executive seat in commercial real estate, this one's worth your hour.
