"What most attracted me to Avison Young was its Principal-led and collaborative culture, and the quality of the people who have been joining the firm. The company-wide emphasis on integrity and professionalism, combined with a collegial atmosphere, ensures a better client experience and outcome," says Moysey. "As the newest Principal in the firm, I am excited by the opportunity to build upon the company's already impressive track record as we continue to expand in North America, Europe and beyond."
