Interview 300
Daniel Bienias has been with CBRE since 2010, and in 2015 was appointed as the company’s managing director in Poland. During that time, the Polish branch has grown to be the market leader with a team of more than 500 advisors. Prior to joining CBRE, Daniel was responsible for the development and implementation of marketing and business strategies as the head of marketing and leasing at CA Immo. He has a degree from the University of Szczecin and completed postgraduate courses at the Warsaw University of Technology, as well as Sheffield Hallam University and Harvard Business School. In 2023, he was appointed as the managing director in the CEE Region, a role he performs together with managing the company in Poland.
According to LinkedIn, you’ve been professionally involved in the real estate market for almost as long as ‘Eurobuild’ has existed. We could shake hands on that! What event from the early days of your career has stayed with you the most, and why?
Daniel Bienias, the managing director of CBRE in Poland: That’s an interesting story. In that case, yes – we can certainly shake hands, and I hope we can both agree that those years have passed beautifully. But to answer your question, what really stuck with me were the events of 2008 and the global financial crisis. The flow of information back then wasn’t as smooth as it is today, and there was a great deal of uncertainty – no one knew what to expect. However, as time has shown, both Poland and the real estate sector emerged much stronger from it.
How would you compare what was happening on the market 25 years ago to what we’re seeing today? What has changed the most?
