Jason Tolliver
President
Americas Logistics & Industrial Advisory Services
Cushman & Wakefield
Indianapolis
Jason Tolliver is widely regarded as one of the most influential leaders in logistics and industrial real estate across the Americas. Over an 18-year career with Cushman & Wakefield, Tolliver has shaped the firm’s industrial platform while helping occupiers and investors navigate a rapidly evolving global supply chain landscape.
His leadership, deep market knowledge, and forward-looking perspective have positioned him as a trusted advisor to some of the world’s largest corporations and institutional real estate owners.
“Commercial real estate is endlessly dynamic,” Tolliver said. “Markets evolve, industries change and no two client challenges are ever the same. I genuinely enjoy learning new things, whether it’s understanding a client’s business at a deeper level, adapting to shifts in the global economy, or working through complex problems that require creativity and judgment.”
As President of Americas Logistics & Industrial Advisory Services, Tolliver oversees the integration and delivery of industrial services across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, ensuring clients receive seamless, strategic guidance from site selection and portfolio optimization to capital markets insights.
His prior role as Global Head of Logistics & Industrial Research expanded his impact internationally, where he advised stakeholders throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific on macroeconomic forces reshaping industrial demand, development pipelines, labor availability, and e-commerce-driven market shifts.
Tolliver’s real estate expertise is uniquely enriched by his background in law and economic development. Earlier in his career, he led domestic and international business development efforts for the State of Indiana and later oversaw major commercial accounts for AES Indiana. These experiences provide him with a rare ability to connect global economic forces with local real estate outcomes, an approach that has made him a respected thinker within the industry.
“At its best, this business is an act of service,” Tolliver said. “I believe service to others is the highest calling in business, and in life, and commercial real estate gives us a tangible way to live that out every day. When we do our work well, we help companies grow, create jobs, strengthen supply chains, and invest in places where people live and work. The impact is real and visible, and it extends far beyond a single transaction.”
He is also a frequent speaker at national conferences and a recurrent contributor across radio, television, and business media.
“The most rewarding part of my role is seeing others achieve success,” Tolliver said. “Watching professionals grow into leaders, helping clients reach milestones they once thought were out of reach, and knowing that our collective efforts helped create better outcomes for communities is incredibly fulfilling.”
When not working, Tolliver focuses on civic service and spending time with his family. He serves on several boards and community organizations, which he says gives him a deep sense of purpose and perspective. Tolliver is also an avid reader, another source of learning and reflection for him.
And one of his greatest joys? Watching his daughter perform as she pursues her passion as a contemporary ballet dancer.
“Seeing her dedication, discipline, and creativity come to life on stage is incredibly inspiring,” Tolliver said.
