About Me
Ward specializes in working with C-level executives and operational specialists to develop and execute corporate real estate strategies on a local and global basis in an effort to maximize operational efficiencies and value. His primary focus is representing dominant logistics companies in the acquisition and disposition of “supply chain real estate” - distribution centers, truck terminals, last mile hubs, manufacturing facilities and industrial land.
With over 17 years of experience, Ward has developed an unparalleled understanding of Supply Chain Real Estate strategy via negotiating 1000+ transactions, globally, in 50+ cities while generating tens of millions in value for his customers. Not to mention - he has fun doing it! His clients and teammates are all folks who you can trust with a handshake. Life is too short to operate any other way.
Ward enjoys reading, writing and speaking about CRE, eCommerce and the logistics industry. He hosts the Truckin’ On podcast and has been featured on other podcasts like the GaryVee Audio Experience, The Cardone Zone and Supply Chain Now. Ward also has been interviewed by multiple publications including the Wall Street Journal and has been a featured speaker at multiple real estate and logistics conferences around the globe.
Ward is currently on the steering committee for the Colliers Logistics & Transportation Solutions Group and an active member of the IWLA and the Texas Warehouse Association.
