MEET THE TEAM

Darren Krakowiak, Founder
As the Founder of CRE Success, Darren’s primary focus is working with commercial real estate leaders to develop their people and grow their businesses.
Over his corporate career, he held various department head and director roles at JLL in Asia Pacific, where he worked for over a decade. He was responsible for leading 300 people as the country head of CBRE Korea from 2015 to 2018 – a period where the previously underperforming business grew into a position of undisputed market leadership.
In 2019, Darren returned home to Melbourne with JLL; after 12 years overseas, he noticed there was a lack of support for commercial real estate professionals to develop modern and relevant skills. So, in 2020 he launched CRE Success.
Darren creates content and develops curriculum to help people in the industry save time, earn more and be top performers in their market.
