Skills and knowledge, not titles or money, are what drive Kelly Givens.
As vice chairman of New York-based Savills, based in the firm’s Orange County office, and a member of the Corporate Services Group, Givens is responsible for transactional strategies centered on workplace and facility requirements across the nation. He helps clients with their workforce and workplace needs and to forecast the real estate requirements necessary to support that demand. In the past five years, Givens has been directly involved in the design and procurement of more than $3B of design, construction and development services, according to Savills officials.
But prior to his senior title, Givens has had an eclectic work experience. He has worked as an architect, underwriter, developer, development manager, construction manager, leasing agent, analyst and even at a Hunt’s tomato factory, where he was responsible for monitoring the paste level. This kind of work experience led to Givens being who he is, someone who is not afraid to learn and try new things.
